End-to-end with fish

Flights of fancy as the resident harbour gulls take off in search of breakfast...

those Dorys are just giving themselves up to the Elisabeth Veronique!...

line caught stone bass taken by the crew of the Newquay boat Shannon from under a floating object...

rare as hen's teeth again this weekend...

there's a few blues to be found in the deeper water...

measuring the catch, 6Kg plus hake need an additional device to get measured on the market, longer then 100cm!...

as the sample is taken of length and otoliths from the Ajax's latest landing...

enough Cornish Sardines to keep the end of summer BBQs going...

bright, blood red gills show just how fresh fish from the Ajax is this morning...

big shot of rays from the inshore boat DanMark...

just a few of the big landings from the rest of the inshore fleet on the market...

WiFi enabled scales, if only the guys had been shown how to use them...

and a silver autumn morn it is...

don't forget to check before you arrive at the now very popular seafood par excellence Tolcarne Inn - tables are being booked days ahead!

Out of the mist....

Just visible as she makes her way towards the harbour entrance...

the L'Ecume des Jours...

takes a berth at the iceworks for a top up...

there's an ever-changing display at the Picture Framer's studio opposite the fish market.

Fishy Friday BBQ at Rinsey Beach - minus the sand

Laden with beach, BBQ kit and enough sardines, mackerel squid and home made burgers to feed eight including the grand kids it came as a bit of a shock to find the beach at Rinsey was minus a viat ingredient - namely the sand - strong southerly winds a few weeks ago had removed the beach! - this is what it normally looks like...

time to prepare the fish, simply gutted...

and washed, plenty of fresh water to hand...

rinsed...

with a little help from the sous-chef...

the fish and squid are soon on the go...

time to eat with some of Vicki's delicious bread...

time for the burgers and bananas for the kid's dessert...

when the rapidly advancing tide...

came ever higher despite the efforts of some to emulate King Canute...

time to head back up the cliff path...

leaving the bass anglers to it...

the slopes proved a heady mix for some...

the end to a perfect Cornish summer's eve...

homeward bound towards an azure sky.
