#FF Friday's market full of the finest fish!


The old Barclay's Bank building is now home to a recycled and vintage collectables, antiques, shabby chic and retro items shop, The Strand...



fresh new art in the Bridge Gallery...



one conger keeps an eye on the morning auction...



while a mackerel buires its head in the ice...



just the one big brill for the Sapphire II...



along with a big run of monk tails...



megrim...



'addock...



plaice...




and lemons...



enought to keep skipper Mike Corin happy as he talks fishy business with Mr Bick...



loks like a bit of a huddle with the buyers...



who will soon have the fish sold off and aboard the waiting transport...



the weather has blown a few of the smaller boats back to port...



while the Sapphire gets to go through her gear...



with all hands on deck...



some cutting out to be done on the cod-end...



and a few meshes to be made by that old man of the sea, 'Milford' Mike...



making light work of topping up the dollies...



that's a few tons of steel swinging around above the heads of the guys on deck, about 8 to be precise!...
