1 He chewed it carefully and then spat out the skin.
2 His hand was phosphorescent from skinning the fish and he watched the flow of the water against it.
3 Then he turned him over and skinned the other side and cut each side off from the head down to the tail.
4 The brown blotches of the benevolent skin cancer the sun brings from its reflection on the tropic sea were on his cheeks.
5 The dolphin was cold and a leprous gray-white now in the starlight and the old man skinned one side of him while he held his right foot on the fish's head.
6 Those who had caught sharks had taken them to the shark factory on the other side of the cove where they were hoisted on a block and tackle, their livers removed, their fins cut off and their hides skinned out and their flesh cut into strips for salting.
7 The shark's head was out of water and his back was coming out and the old man could hear the noise of skin and flesh ripping on the big fish when he rammed the harpoon down onto the shark's head at a spot where the line between his eyes intersected with the line that ran straight back from his nose.
