Fishmongers in Egypt say they have been forced to slash prices by up to 50% because of a boycott which has swept the country.
A campaign against high prices which began in the major cities of Port Said and Alexandria has spread elsewhere under the slogan “Let it rot”.
The online campaign has been going on for weeks as the country continues to experience price hikes of almost all goods.
President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi has previously advised consumers to boycott products that become unaffordable as the Egyptian currency has plunged in value.
Seafood is traditionally eaten during the celebrations of the Sham Ennessim national festival, which falls on 6 May.
The festival is coinciding with the Easter Monday celebrations of the Egyptian Coptic Orthodox Church.
