EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling atmosphere of George Angus's fish merchant business in Torry, Aberdeen, Scotland, in 1905. George Angus, the proprietor, stands proudly in front of his shop on Sinclair Road, surrounded by freshly caught Finnan Haddock and other varieties of fish. Angus was known for his expertise as a curer, ensuring that his fish were of the highest quality before being sold wholesale to local markets and restaurants. The Edwardian era, in which this photograph was taken, marked a period of significant growth in the Scottish fishing industry. The country's abundant natural resources and advanced fishing techniques made it a major player in the global seafood market. Angus's business was a testament to this thriving industry, with its large selection of fresh fish and the efficient operation that can be seen in the photograph. The photograph also provides a glimpse into the daily life of Aberdeen's residents during this time. The city was a hub for the fishing industry, and the sight of fish merchants like Angus was a common one. The people of Aberdeen relied heavily on the industry for their livelihoods, and the bustling markets and shops were a source of pride and community. This photograph is not only a historical record of a bygone era but also a beautiful representation of the rich cultural heritage of Scotland's fishing industry. The traditional methods used by fish merchants like Angus, the freshness of the fish, and the vibrant atmosphere of the markets continue to be celebrated and cherished in Aberdeen and beyond.
