Fischmarkt - Talagaad

Talabheim claims several fishing villages along the shores of the Talabec and it is here where the fisher-folk and their families do a brisk business moving their wares. The market resides along the southernmost tip of the south bank’s docks. The smell of fish pervades everything here, and those who work at the Fischmarkt are never entirely free of it. Large racks of fish are smoked here day and night, while barrels of salted fish are unloaded from or to barges for shipping elsewhere. The locals favour fresh river fish, though what counts as fresh varies depending on one's means. The freshest are stored in buckets of ice and whisked away to noble tables in Talabheim or elsewhere, the ice often more expensive and harder to procure than the fish.

A fair number of servants from noble houses personally travel to shop at the Fischmarkt every morning from Talabheim to fetch this fare, mixing with Talagaad’s locals. As a result, the latest gossip from the city and beyond moves quicker here than a fish can swim.
