The very best quality fish on Newlyn market this morning.


Casting a glow...




Newlyn Fishermen's memorial statue, Tom now shines under the glare of two spotlights...


Ed with the poorly back takes not of otolith removal on a  6kilo hake he pulled out of the net some six hours previously...


the sample is kept and the age of the fish determined #usefuldata #hake...


the gills are pulled back to allow the otoloith to be removed by knife...


easy when you know how....



hake are some of the biggest...


more of those rarest of fish, mature cod - then latest series of Trawlermen is being filmed aboard with Jimmy Buchan - and there appears to be no shortage of cod in the North Sea either...
