Singapore Naval Base - Fishing in the Dockyard (2)
1963.  Peter Banks after a nights fishing off a floating dock in the Naval Dockyard. A good catch of Ikan Tenggiri. (Malay name). A shoal of these fish were found to be circling a couple of metres down under the overhanging floodlights at the end of the dock. A difficult fish to eat due to the mass of small bones in the flesh but our amah pound the whole fish into a paste and made them into tasty fish balls.
