Chinese fishing nets perched along the coast, invented and imported by Chinese merchants in the century

The most enduring image of Fort Kochi is often that of the Chinese fishing nets. Like totems from another age, they are perched along the coast. An ingenious invention imported by Chinese merchants in the middle of the 14th century, Chinese fishing nets are the most efficient way to fish in the backwaters. You can raise them yourself if you ask the fishermen's permission (and for a small fee), or just watch the fishermen climbing their wooden posts.

Très touristique à Kochi et un peu sale mais la promenade de bord de plage vaut le détour. Beaucoup plus authentiques sur la route de bord de mer en allant vers Allepey.

Ballade idéale au coucher du soleil. De belles couleurs, une ambiance familiale et agréable : des enfants qui jouent, des amoureux qui se baladent, de nombreuses glaces aux mains des passants ... Et puis la pêche. Nous avons discuté avec les pêcheurs qui nous ont expliqué comment fonctionnent les filets, quels sont les poissons qu'ils attrapent le plus. Seul bémol : certains pêcheurs essayent de tout faire payer (du droit à prendre une photo à l'essai du filet) et il n'est pas toujours facile de communiquer avec eux (la majorité ne parlent pas anglais ou très peu)

Regarder la manœuvre de ces imposants carrelets est fort captivant : dextérité des pécheurs, jeu de contrepoids, sortie de poisson plus ou moins importante...
