The sardines have a small body, 10-15 cm long, and are caught by fishermen in the coastal waters. Coming here, visitors can borrow small baskets and a few fishing rods to practice being fishermen. After casting the net, they can sit on the basket boat and fish for sardines while admiring the blue sea of the Fatherland far away to the horizon.
