Along the banks of the Berg River is a dirt road that is regarded,
unofficially, as a national monument. Here large schools of harders
are netted and turned into bokkoms. Bokkoms are harders (mullet)
that are salted, then strung into bunches and hung up to dry.
They are unique to this part of the West Coast and no visitor
should leave before visiting this trail.

All along this road there are rows of fish strung on ropes under
reed shelters. Here women sit, with needle and string, tying up
the little fish before salting them and hanging them to dry in
the wind. Small fishng boats with oars, used for setting the
harder net, lie alongside dilapidated old, wooden quays,
adding to the quaintness and chanrm of this area.

Bokkoms are synonymous with Velddrif. These dried fish are
the biltong of the area. This unique, traditional delicacy
is highly prized by initiates and best enjoyed with white
wine, or with bread, apricot jam and black coffee.
