Daily Catch
Your Shot photographer Navtej Singh captured an old tradition with a new angle. Of the action below, he writes, "This is an early morning fish auction, when the boats come in after night fishing at Bhaucha Dhakka, Mumbai. The catch is offloaded by the boat managers and auctioned in lots to the highest bidder, who further sells the same in small lots to small-time fish sellers."
