At last Newlyn has some fish for the first #FF of 2014!


A #FishyFriday it might be but with just the one beam trawler on the market not only were quantities well down but the price was well up...


well before 7am it was time to clear away the boxes...


which included those colourful little red gurnard chaps, so beloved by chefs for the flavour they impart to stocks and soups like bouillabaisse...



at the other end of the market there were three netters including the Padstow based Eva Marie...


a rare sight these days, three crayfish, caught in their thousands off the Scillies back in the 1970s...


bigger and better bass brought buyers' best bids...


which leaves market man Lionel with plenty of washing down to do, thought the newly painted market walls have improved light levels on the market floor considerably...


down the quay, the landed St Georges takes ice in readiness for sailing.
