#FishyFriday and it's almost a frosty one, well, not really this is Cornwall.
Inshore trawlers and beamers this morning on the market in Newlyn...
including regular fish like megrim soles...
yellow spotted plaice...
a sprinkling of squid...
and cuttles...
the odd line caught pollack...
and plenty of good mackerel...
rays are endowed with a pair of claspers only used during reproduction, hidden beneath the folds of skin are a row of razor sharp hooks...
this old lady has been in the wars...
best bass on the market this morning...
and a handful of haddock of which there are ever -increasing amounts being caught...
plenty of fish to choose from for the weekend...
an an all-time favourite, mini monk tails...
a local shop window reflects the diversity of the port...
while across the bay, Michael's Mount looms over the misty sea off Marazion.
