Lis-alis

Lis-alis usually present in canals that provide salt evaporation service in southern part of Madura and around Surabaya.

[1] Until the present, lis-alis remained overwhelmingly popular as a fishing craft in Bangkalan and Sukolilo, while a larger version, the kroman, has been used in this area for at least a century for inshore transport work.

[6] Lis alis is a bifid-ended boat (with double stem and sternpost), the lower "jaw" called antek, cantek or jabaran is an elongation of the keel that functions as a bumper.

[1] Bigger lis-alis act as favorite transport boat to carry fishes from other fisherman in sea to Surabaya.

Fishes were sterilized in cooking water, then grinded and stirred in the pot until it cools down and packed in bottles to be sold as shrimp paste.
