pLenty of fish on Monday's market.

100% cloud cover is the current weather theme it seems...


while there is plenty to brighten up the day for the buyers on the market this morning with even more species up for auction than usual, like these good sized greater weavers...


big turbot...


plenty of monk tails...


John Dory...


witches...


and, unusually, more than a box of cod from a beam rawler...


plenty of squid seem to be on the grounds...


and the odd conger...


along with a good run of big plaice...


all three zones on the market were end-to-end with fish...


with a big shot of squid from the Tranquility...


and some cracking gilt head bream...



top...


and bottom of a sea urchin, or zart as they are known by Mousehole men...



the big tuna are still in abundance...


as are smaller fish for those still trying to catch their quota for the season...


the handliners had a good weekend on the bass...




and there were plenty of mackerel, though to find that one box you bought proved something of a challenge in a fridge packed tight with so many stacked boxes of fish...


there are still sardines to be had in the bay...



monk heads go for crab bait these days...



the Ocean Pride prepares for her next trip...



hopefully she will be righted as the tide floods...


a few more hours work is needed below the waterline before she can come down off the slip...



Northern Eagle heads in through the gaps chased by a flock of hungry gulls hoping for scraps from the deck being washed down after the last haul of the trip!
