Sisimuit

Yesterday found us in Sisimiut for much of the day, second largest city in Greenland, pop. 3800. Primarily a fishing town, we beheld a relatively small factory ship unloading 5,000 tons of pandalus borealis shrimp after a 15 day trip. The other major fishing enterprise is apparently for turbot, some of which we had for a delicious onboard dinner. We are told that the shrimp processing plant here serves the many small shrimping boats and annually peels 10 million kilos of shrimp.
