Fishes sorted and stored in baskets within a hut in Khar Danda
Description:
The post-monsoon period from October to December is considered one of the peak fishing seasons in Mumbai. As the weather stabilizes and sea conditions improve, fishermen resume their fishing activities. This period is particularly favourable for catching species such as pomfret (paplet), prawns, and crabs. Though the supply of fish is highly variable and seasonal, it is estimated that 10–20 percent of the total catch is used for drying.
