Fish Drying, French Style
The French settlers dried the fish on large "squares" of bare rocks. These were usually right next to the homestead as shown here on Ile aux Marins, St. Pierre and Miquelon. This was how it was done in Newfoundland too all along what was called the French Shore.
Although I've not seen much evidence of this around Newfoundland island, likely because they are grown over with grasses and bushes, the rocky plots are very evident on Old Ferrolle Island near Plum Point.
