THE ‘Wild Caught Fresh Fish Depot’ was yesterday unveiled at the Meadow Bank wharf by owner Leonard Jettoo, who emphasised that his goal is to promote proper sanitation and showcase Guyana’s fishing industry to the best of his abilities.

Jettoo told this publication: “It is about sanitation and hygiene, and this was in the making for years now…I talked to stall owners to keep the place clean, but they didn’t listen; so I had to put this here so people could shop in a clean and comfortable atmosphere.”

This businessman has been in the fishing industry for over 23 years. He said this is an industry that needs more development because it’s a main source of food. He also said his entity, which currently employs 20 persons, offers a variety of both fresh and salt water fish and other seafood, such as tilapia, shrimp, prawns, trout, gilbakker and many others.

Jettoo is urging persons to come out and shop in a clean and customer-friendly environment, as a wide variety of fresh fish is available for their choice, and opening hours are from 5:30am to 5:30pm from Sunday to Sunday. (Navendra Seoraj)
