Kinkole Fish Market

Democratic Republic of Congo


The fish market at Kinkole was constructed by Mobutu to honour the country's fishermen as part of his 'authenticity' campaign. You can hire a priogue for US$10.00 an hour and be paddled down the Congo River, drink intoxicating palm wine on the riverbank and try some of the country's best liboke (fish stewed in manioc leaves).
