Aden’s Poor fishermen use primitive techniques to collect seashells

Fishermen in the southern port city of Aden use primitive fishing techniques to collect seashells which requires a lot of time and effort.

They use their hands to collect them as they spend long hours in shallow waters before selling them to popular restaurants.

Fishermen usually choose closed marine areas far from the coasts because they believe these areas contain larger quantities of seashells.

Many poor fishermen, who can’t buy fishing boats and marine equipment, make a living by collecting sea shells, which are cheaper than other types of fish.

A few people are aware of the nutritional value of the seashells, which are cooked in a special way and presented as seafood dishes.

Fisherman Hassan Hadi told A24 News Agency’s reporter that he collects seashells for food due to their high nutritional value.

Seashells are rich in lean protein, healthy fats, and minerals. Regularly eating shellfish may boost your immunity, aid weight loss, and promote brain and heart health.
