What's that smell? It's dead Tilapia.

Before a long ride through LA traffic on our way home from Palm Springs in March, we drove around the Salton Sea. Besides numerous abandoned town alternating with numerous towns filled with brand new empty five bed room homes, there was an unbelievable stench. It was dead tilapia that apparently die in droves every year. All along the shore there were whole reefs that were made of crunched and powdered tilapia bones. yum.

You should definitely check out this documentary about the Salton Sea. Made by a couple of Bay Area filmmakers, soon to appear on DVD. Enjoy.
