"The lessons gleaned from the first Market Day in Lambert's Bay had been noted, prompting us to return for the subsequent Market day with an estimated 500 kilograms of fish.

"Arriving early to set up the event, we were greeted by a long queue that extended down the street. Overwhelmed by the response, we advanced the event's opening to 10:00. By 11:15 on that day, all 500 kilograms had been sold. This experience underscored the urgent need for food security in the community, emphasizing the increasing demand for a consistent supply of high-quality, affordable fish. The resonance of this need extends beyond Lambert's Bay to numerous other communities.

"The expressions of gratitude from the community were abundant, and the pride emanating from local fishers, recognizing their contribution to this essential cause, stood out as one of the most encouraging feedbacks received throughout this event. The lessons learned in Lambert's Bay illuminated the growing concern for food security across communities, reinforcing the significance of our mission."
