The barter map depicts the fish market community (2019-2022), reference from 80sketches over the years! I could tell you every single person in the map about who they are and what they are doing, as all of their stories are already engraved in my memory！🌟

A.A. LYONS LTD FISH MERCHANTS
I bartered the tie with Adam in this shop. After a few weeks, I found they had another new tie with the shop logo, and said they couldn't give me this. Andrea is working in the shop, he helps with the delivery. He always wears an earpod to listen to energetic music to keep him working. He has some friends from the fish cutting factory, he’ll often visit after work. -24Feb2021

.l.exotics.ltd

After three weeks of negotiation, I got the shark skeleton from Paul, the shop owner, who inherited the shop from his dad. The shop is named by him and his dad, John and Paul. I was quite surprised that they really considered giving me this. After the first day giving out the sketch, I keep convincing them for different reasons.

They worry the skeleton will be too fragile to deliver and if I won't come back after I take it. To build up the mutual trust, I came everyday, sometimes just to chat, sometimes I asked for the skeleton again- 04Feb0221

Ron (Polydor Seafood)
Ron works for many shops. Although he works in Polydor, he also helps deliver for SIMMO’S (Billingsgate) Ltd. and some other shops. He wears white work pants with a green band everyday. I bartered his knife, which he used for cutting paper boxes for decades.
