Virginia, you *must* come down south!! Those are preserved lemons and salt cod. The salt cod is used in brandade - which I think is a dish from this region...a creamy mix that is delicious when well-prepared. As we are influenced here by north African cuisine, the preserved lemons are used in tagine...and probably other things but that's what comes to mind tout de suite. The two olive vendors in the little marché sell both along with their olives and nuts. We've got very cool stuff down here...you must put it on your list!
“Leslie landed in the lavender and olives of Provence in 2004...fork in hand...” so began La Fourchette in 2006. Fast-forward to this moment...with survival issues managed (every ex-pat knows what I'm talking about!), I returned to my metier of psychotherapy and La Fourchette took a back seat...but it was a wonderful ride!

I see what I think is fish. Is that lemons in the bucket? Very unusual I think.
