Fish aplenty on the market in Newlyn
Good mix of fish this morning after the Easter break with trawl, beam trawl and net fish...
filling the market floor in Newlyn...
with top drawer fish like Dover sole...
monk...
and megrim sole from the Cornishman...
and the Sapphire II...
more monk tails...
red mullet...
and a handful of John Dory...
this solitary lobster...
and a few boxes of these big flat fish better known as?...
one or two boxes of big cod...
all moving swiftly off the market floor...
the netter Britannia V landed a big shot of hake...
and a few even bigger flat fish?...
keeping the bigger buyers busy...
on another stunning morning with hardly a cloud in the sky...
making the start to the day for inshore boats a pleasing experience...
the morning's mixed bag of beam trawlers, crabbers, scallopers and a prawn trawler...
like the two Ocean Fish scallopers, Men Dhu
and Manx Ranger...
just ahead of the big prawn trawler, Apollo...
while the James RH has her trawls hung up to dry...
a perfect day for sailing on a classic boat...
the business end of the Apollo...
MTS Vector has seriously big working deck...
while just ahead of her is the ex-Brixham trawler, Bon Accord...
there's always plenty of entertainment in Newlyn but keep your eyes and ears open for the Boundless Brothers playing at the Swordfish this Friday night...
gear for your boat, whatever the type, can be had from the Newline Chandlery.
