Selecting some fresh fish/poissons for his Sunday night dinner at a market on the Mediterranean Sea in Tunisia.
The advantage of buying fish/poissons in Tunisia, compared to many other countries in North Africa and the eastern Mediterranean, is that French, rather than Arabic, is used to identify the purchase. A big plus for consumers like The Idiot who was very frustrated buying fish without speaking Egyptian Arabic — or Turkish or Greek for that matter.
