Eye's down for a nearly full house this morning, a good mix of trawl and A1 quality inshore fish.......
including these colourful wrasse, popular with the sushi chefs......
and a 170 box trip of hake form the Ajax.......
proving her worth this morning to get in a shot overnight despite the weather, the brand new sardine boat Asthore makes her second landing in Newlyn before........
taking ice ready for the off ce soir.

High water, time to slip away on Saturday.
Mid neap tide and there's still a few netters against the quay.......
but aboard the beamer Sapphire the sparks fly.......
under the gaze from the wheelhouse.......
as the chain mat and footrope get their end of trip once over............
two identical orange hulls.........
first weekend in Newlyn for the latest boat to join the Cornish fishing fleet, the Asthore owned by Ocean Fish and purpose built to chase sardines.......
she sports a huge bulbous bow........
sophisticated fish handling gear........
as seen from the fore mast.......
looks like plenty of weather has passed by this bow........
a subtle reminder on the way out........
off to try and beat the tide, harbourmaster Andrew Munson heads for the slip......
a lick of red paint.......

it's that time of year when........ a lick of red paint.......
might turn Rudolph blue.......
the company flag flies at half mast for ex-skipper Peter 'the Greek' Neale, probably best known for holding the port record for over 20 years with the Altje Adriaante......
which has meant another busy week for the Mission team.

Clever chameleon-like cuttles change colour to confuse!
Damned clever fish these cuttles!
Here next - or when is a trend not a trend?
From a fisherman near you - "was this the pollock you ordered sir?" |
"Sometimes big changes come in small packages. It might not seem like a big deal when Sterno cleans up the fuel that has warmed a million buffet pans. Or when a diner can consult their smartphone to find the source of the fish on their plate.But take these small changes together, and a trend emerges: Sustainable dining is becoming self-sustaining. Instead of hot new technologies, what observers see for the coming year is the unspectacular but steady growth of an infrastructure to support green dining. It’s getting easier and easier to find the products and the know-how, and to communicate it all to your customers.“The biggest trend is that this thing is not a trend,” says Michael Oshman, CEO of the Boston-based Green Restaurant Association, which certifies 470 green restaurants nationwide. “It’s here to stay.” Here are some key pieces of the emerging sustainability infrastructure:
Sustainable products - Sustainable know-how - Sustainable menu information
