Fishing at Arugam Bay

Fishermen in Arugam Bay get up early at 2 in the morning or so, to have 4 or 5 hours of fishing at sea. They bring back locusts, sometimes sharks and other exotic fish that hotels buy for guests. There are not many restaurants that do this type of thing. You can even ask the people where you are staying what you want for the next day and they will bring you that fish. They return at 10am. Sometimes they go back in the afternoon. We were invited to go with them, but we didn´t have the time. The boats are new, because the old ones were lost in the tsunami in 2004. These are donations from international organizations.
