First day of the new era on Newlyn fish market as Stevenson's take control.



You just know rain is on its way this morning...


on a day when a new era is heralded in as Stevensons and Ocean Fish take on running the fish market and auction...


it's a fitting start, with a wide variety of fish from visiting Scottish prawn boats like the Ocean Vision ...


and Daystar...


filled most of the three zones...


plenty of ray still on the grounds...


and a good run of haddock from the seiner...


while the St Georges landed a good trip of seasonal Dovers...


and with the start of a new month, the bass season is now open again...


hopeful signs of summer...


that's a huge conger shot...


and more head-on monk...


as the sky darkens...


there are still plenty of boats at sea...


as the Ygraine lands a few days worth of hard fought for, weather-wise,..


 hake, to make the best of the prices...


with the sole grounds round in the Bristol Channel...


Brixham beam trawlers make their trips shorter by landing in Newlyn...


 even if their fish goes up the road to the auction at Brixham...


unusual to see a yacht this early in the season...


new company boxes, all set for the new auction set-up.
