Kan'du oiy Giri...

The title means a small place found on th ocean. Thats the name of the place we visited today. It was extremely fun. Starting from the welcome drink (fresh orange) to the fabulous lunch, it was extremely cool. I practically never remember enjoying a trip like this. We were divided into groups and were given a tour of the place. We started off at the fish processing unit. Kan'du oiy Giri processes the humongous yellow fin tuna. They class them as A grade, B grade, C grade and then send them off to the European countries.
We wore lab coats with rubber boots and hair nets. The shoes were too tight but the coat was perfectly alright. We weren't allowed a camera or else I would have you got you some cool photos. First the fish is brought in from a slide and taken to the cutting table. It is in an iced state. Then the first guy removes the head and uses the main chunky areas and passes it to the second person. He removes the skin and hands it over to the third guy who cuts it into appropriate pieces. Then it is transferred to room 2. In room 2 the chunks are put into rubber bags, vacuumed properly and labeled. Until it is sent off to the required place, they are stored under extremely low temperatures. I was sweating when i entered the place but he drops freezed immediately. The thermometer showed -6 degrees celcius.
Then we went off sight seeing. The first thing that grabbed my interest was the largest salt water fish tank I ever saw in my life. About fifteen feet in length and about six feet wide, the tank was full of large fish.
Then we went to the generator areas where we met 'Mr. Iruvaahudhu' who bit my hand. Don't worry, no damage was done.
Then we went sight seeing. It was a beautiful place.

Then we had a superb lunch. It was great. I'll have to invent words to describe the taste...
It was fun and i enjoyed the new experience...Seyanora...
