Traditional Fishermen Bring Fresh Fish Ashore In Patenga, Chattogram

Fishermen carry long bamboo poles fitted with heavy blue water containers on their shoulders as they climb concrete steps from the sea, surrounded by a crowd at Patenga Beach in Chattogram, Bangladesh, on July 21, 2026. Taking advantage of the high tide, traditional wooden fishing boats anchor close to shore, prompting fishermen to manually haul their heavy gear and freshly caught Hilsa directly onto land to serve an impromptu coastal market set against a backdrop of anchored cargo ships.
