Dale Joseph, 45, grew up a stone’s throw away from the Toco beach, located in north-east TT.
Although he wasn’t a fisherman himself, his father would do rock fishing to keep Joseph and the rest of the family fed.
Now a vendor with his own beach front variety store, Joseph recalled in his childhood the fishing village of Toco hadn’t a need for anything. The sea would, with each new moon, bring forth a bounty of fish so fishermen would be able to feed themselves and make money.
