Never mind the murky Monday morning in Newlyn - marvel at the quality of the fish!



The North Pier on a flat calm morning under 100% cloud cover and in anticipation of some sun...


hardly a day passes with spurdogs on the market, to think tons of these fine eating fish were dumped at sea and never made it to the market for many years...


top quality ray wings...


top quality squid...


top quality red mullet...


top quality tagged line caught bass...


top quality line caught mackerel...


top quality line caught pollack...


and top quality...


bluefin tuna...


don't forget the zarts...


a box of netted coley...


and superb tub gurnards...


one of the best eating fish, John Dory...


labelling up time...


Tom's turbot...


young Roger spent the summer chasing these elusive fish...


if you ever need regular supplies of ray wings, look no further then the inshore trawler,  New Venture...


three loyal members of the Newlyn hake fleet, Stelissa...


Silver Dawn...


and the Ygraine all put fish ashore for this morning's market... 



looking from Penzance dock across the top of Battery Rocks and the Jubilee Pool...

and a mirror-like wet dock this morning...


home to the Scilly supply ship, Gry Maritha...



taking on store for the islanders...


three very different boats alongside the Penwith Marine quay...


these entrance to the wet dock has seen some interesting craft pass through the gaps over the years...


another Scilly supply ship, a very spruce looking H&W Tean, ...


back in Newlyn and the light in the sky has some subtle shades.
