The shore of the Salton Sea at the Salton Sea State Recreation Area was littered with the dried carcasses of fish. Loads of tilapia live in the Salton Sea, and though there was something fairly disgusting about all their corpses, they are dried out almost like jerky. A few kids nearby got a gas out of throwing the dead fish at their father, which was pretty funny from where I was sitting. Photo 4 of 12 in Hello from the Salton Sea by Aaron Britt
