'Tis a mighty, mizzly Monday morning in Newlyn.



A fresh breeze and plenty of mizzle to start the week...

some banging monk tails from the Cornishman...


big plaice...


and a good landing of the fish with the hump...

from whence it got it's Cornish name according to Morton...


young Mr Barnes didn't just catch one conger...



but a whole dozen boxes...


nice trip from the Millenia too...


away with the scallops...


more delicate monk livers, a must try for any fish fan...


last of yhe netters to land, the Stelissa finished off her tide with a shot of hake...


these are inshore fish, but what are they?..


some cracking jigged squid...


and pleny of mackerel at the moment...


the march of the Mediterranean octopus continues...


topping out at just over 100kg, another nice bluefin on the market...


last of the Cornishman's fish, plenty of decent Dovers...


revved up and raring to go, refrigerated transport at the ready...


taking a more leisurely approach, patrol boat St Piran...


the crabber Winter of Ladram, her vivier tanks pumped dry raises her bow high out of the water so that her tons of crab can be offloaded and bound for EspaƱa.
