Thalassery (or Tellicherry) is a small town on the western malabar coast of Kerala. Everywhere in Thalassery you will get a glimpse of the Arabian sea. The backwaters are very beautiful and is a haven for fishermen. The main catches are sea molluscs (Kallumakkai) that is made into various delicacies such as pickles, rice appams, and more. A common sandwich or stuffing for the various food delicacies in Thalassery is fish.
About 100 molluscs are sold for Rs.140. Not a very big profit margin, yet the livelihood of many people living near the backwaters. The mud near the backwaters is strewn with and decorated by different types of shells. A real feast for your eyes :)
