The image depicts a bustling outdoor market scene in Ebute-Metta, Nigeria, under daylight conditions. The central figure is a dark-skinned female, positioned mid-frame, wearing a red short-sleeved t-shirt with "PEEPER SOUP" text partially visible, black leggings, and sandals. She holds a large, live, dark-colored fish, identified as a catfish, horizontally with both hands at chest level, facing forward. Her mouth is open, suggesting active communication or vocalization. Surrounding her on the wet, paved ground are multiple black plastic buckets, each containing live catfish submerged in water. One lighter-colored plastic bucket is empty. To her immediate left, a stack of black plastic buckets is arranged, with woven circular mats placed between them, and a folded blue tarp or umbrella resting on the ground nearby. In the background, numerous individuals, male and female, of varying ages and attire, are visible. They stand in groups or individually, observing the scene or moving through the market. One male on the far right foreground wears a white t-shirt with "PEPPER SOUP" text and dark sunglasses, holding a small dark object in his right hand. Further back, a person is seen carrying a tray of goods on their head. Market stalls with packaged items, including boxes labeled "MIMEE," are visible on the left. The scene is partially shaded by multiple large market umbrellas, with a prominent green and white striped umbrella dominating the upper center. Other umbrellas in colors such as purple and reddish-brown are also visible. A multi-story building with balconies and railings is present in the far left background. The overall environment indicates a busy commercial setting focused on the sale of fresh fish and other goods.
