Every morning, after sending her grandchildren to school, Mariam Ngare goes to the beach in Msambweni, a small fishing town on the coast of Kenya.      There, she buys fresh-caught rabbitfish or parrotfish, cuts them into small pieces and fries them. Carrying the fare on a tin plate on her head, Ngare walks to the town’s main street, where she sells each piece for 50 Kenyan shillings (US$.35) to passersby looking for a quick bite.
