Fading ties with Mumbai's mudskippers

A fish that walks and skips on land, the mudskipper is a fascinating creature. But not much is known about this amphibious fish from the coasts of India. They are part of the local delicacies and traditions of coastal communities along India’s west and east coasts. In the knee-to-waist-deep mudflats, fisherfolk catch the slippery mudskippers for food, rituals, or simply as a tasty treat. But what was once common in Mumbai’s local markets is slowly fading away. Fisherfolk along the city's coast observe a decline in their population.
