Thirty-four of 100 fishermen (97 men, 3 women) interviewed in the Gulf of Corinth made some kind of offer to Silvia. For fun, she kept track of them in her database. She was offered:
coffee - 10 times
coffe and dinner - once
a drink - 6 times
cigarette - 8 times
cigarette and fish - once
cigarette and lunch - once
figs - once
fish - 3 times
shells - 3 times
Silvia accepted the shells and a couple of coffees offered by seniors. None of the interviewed fishermen behaved unpleasantly, and most were very kind.
The trammel fisherman in the photo above washes a shell to be offered to the interviewer.
