May your first day of May be a very #FishFriday May day and here's hoping there's no Maydays today.
A night in port for the port's newest netter Karen of Ladram...
one visiting trawler Spirited Lady...
beam trawl and net fish on the market today...
with a good shot of Dory from the Wialliam Samson...
some of the boats take the trouble to cut out the cheeks form their big monk - they make good money on the market and even better eating - look out for them in your local fishmonger...
like these larger-than-a-dinner-plate turbot...
just the one grey gurnard lurking in a box of reds...
the greater weaver, one to avoid stepping on during the summer when the tide is in on sandy beaches - a rare enough event though - but it does hurt...
plenty of big ray still swimming offshore...
looks like the turbot season has now started in earnest...
Boy Lee, just one of the inshore boats to land pristine fish this morning...
going out on Channel Four later in the year, one to keep an eye open for...
a fresh breeze down the harbour this morning...

the Scillonian III heads off early to the islands this morning.
