Sarika Ladge has been knee-deep in fish masala for the past few days, and is only going to speed up preparation this week as the Vesava (Versova) Koli Seafood Festival approaches. For the past 14 years, Ladge and her family of more than 20 members, have been putting up a stall at the one-of-a kind festival exhibiting Koli culture, and the school teacher is excited to be part of the 15th offering as it returns after a gap of two years owing to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The three-day festival is held at the Versova fishing village, and visitors can dig into more than 27 varieties of fish across 45 stalls. The stalls will be helmed by fisherfolk dressed in traditional attire. “I haven’t skipped the festival even once,” Ladge tells us, adding, “We are eager for visitors to taste authentic Koli food that you can’t find in restaurants, at throwaway prices.”
