"Take one," you said, and held out a fish at the pier

I went down to the pier at El Muelle early to watch the boats come in, and you were standing on the boards with an orange bucket of fish, bargaining with several people at once and laughing. I bought nothing. I just stood there. You looked at me and said, take one, so I did. It was the freshest fish I have ever held. I walked around with it for a quarter of an hour, because I did not know what to do. A woman at the market said, ceviche. I said, yes. She said, sit.
