First #FishyFriday in March.


No better sign of freshness than blood, MSC Certified Cornish hake...



the odd JD...



good to see some the buyers practicing their two-step for the 11th Newlyn annual ballroom dancing competition...



a box of Couch's bream, no doubt they will grace the counter at a certain Chelsea fishmonger's tomorrow, who knows they might even feature in one of young Rex's tweets...



a huge shot of pollack from the netter Stellissa filled the grader hall...



gladly stacked nine high by Fal Fish buyer Edwin...



easy to see from where the spurdog earned its name...



one flew over Rowse's crabber fleet...



which is still in the process of deploying a fleet of pots...



 for the Cesca, the latest vessel to join the fleet



the Belgian beam trawler, Francine...



works 12m beam trawls...



and uses double-purchase blocks to handle such heavy gear...



back working together again...



little Graham...



and Ian Oliver land fish from the good ship Sapphire II...



not one but two of Stevenson's fleet are being decommissioned, the Filadelfia has joined the William Sampson Stevenson...



it won't be too long before another heavy shower deepens those blue hues around and above the harbour.
