After the early-morning trading is done, the workers move to the other side of the market for a well-earned meal.
Ally Iddi, 32, is among those who cook up the fish. He has been in the job for 17 years and brings up three children on his wage.
Kivukoni is the biggest fish market in Tanzania's main city, Dar es Salaam. Fish are an important part of the diet for those Tanzanians who live near the country's long coast and many lakes.
