A city is greatly known for its fishing port, where fishermen normally fish at night. The scabbard is the most caught and enjoyed fish here. This fish has evolved into a peculiar appearance with big eyes, long snouts, and fang teeth, due to the fact that his habitat is 1,500 m below the surface. An amazing historical fact about this town is that back in the year 1950, Winston Churchill arrived with his wife, and eldest daughter, and stayed here for a while. Having felt inspired by this lovely fishing town, Churchill painted the town, and can now be found in the city for anyone to enjoy.
