#FishyFriday in Newlyn
Big wheels for big boats...
the Sapphire II along with the Lisa Jacqueline are holding their fish over till Monday's market...
as there was precious little space on the market floor this morning with four beamers landing...
with plenty of buyers...
keen to get a successful bid in on the fish...
like these lemons...
plaice...
and monk fish tails...
the odd tub gurnard...
and some solid trips of cuttles...
some seasonal meaty congers...
and a smattering of top quality reds and squid...
though with no netters landing owing to the big spring tide...
the only hake on the market was from the beam trawlers...
these boots were made for supervising...
the mighty mackerel...
just like an argument, there's two sides to every flatfish...
Newlyn Fish Festival's celebrated auctioneer Ed Buckland deep in conversation with harbourmaster Rob Parsons...
it's cool to be cold.
