Fish stomachs for China

So I walked to the market to buy some bananas and I saw this...


This family is drying fish stomachs (or intestines, I wasn't sure about the Swahili).  They stretch the stomach over a stick and let it dry in the sun.  Then they will sell the stomachs to China for $143/kilo.  I asked what the Chinese do with the stomachs but this family had no idea.

Welcome to Tanzania!
