In Kashmir, as the autumn sets to end, people begin to prepare a winter delicacy – Faer’ie – or smoked fish. It is the local fish, which are then laid on layers of dry grass shaped in the form of a platform. Hundreds of kilograms of fish are smoked by setting the dry grass alight in several parts. After leaving the fish to dry in the sun, they are ready to be sold in the market, making it a good source of income for fish sellers during the season.
