Fresh fish for you!

Despite the weather Cornish fishermen battle on to feed the nation...

with the best bass...

marvellous megrim...

raucous ray...

tasty 6Kg turbot...

and comforting cod...

all whisked away at speed by local Ninjas...

leaving the buyers plenty to bid over...

not once but thrice...

it's a new dawn...

and a week to remember for many.

Not enough fish - documentary trailer.

Peter and Chantelle, a family struggling with the hardships of independent fishing, tell of their daily lives, as they both do their part to keep their business, and family, afloat. In true observational form, we see their contrasting lives through visual poetry.

Fishfella - Rex Goldsmith tells his story

One of the great outlets for the freshest Newlyn fish is Rex Goldsmiths shop, The Chelsea Fishmonger in, yes you guessed it Chelsea, London SW3.  Here, Rex gives up a few minutes of his time to tell how he came to be a fishmonger - from his humble beginnings aged 12 working in a trout farm for all of 55p an hour. We are guessing that he at least pays himself the minimum wage these days ;-)

DEFRA at odds with the industry again?

Where do we go from here?

It is busy enough on Monday morning's market.

Despite a week of hard and harsh weather there was plenty of fish on Newlyn market this morning...

boxes of bass to the fore...

giving some buyers the need for serious contemplation...

amidst all the tales on monk...

red muller...

red gurnards...


huge cod...

big bass...

golden cod...

spot the plaice...

luscious lemons...

but it is scallops that get the data collected this morning...

and several tons of squid...

all get the pencil pose form auctioneers Ian...

and Ryan...

as the Admiral Gordon makes use of the big tide to go alongside the fish market to repair her starboard beam trawl...

 to repair her starboard beam trawl...

"hake worship"...

bass just love bad weather...

all in the black for the St Georges...

as a group of students get to grips with a plethora of photo opportunities that the market offers...

like one of the sardine boats landing in the morning after a night chasing fish all round the Bay...

topping up with iced tubs...

as the Imogen II takes a drying out berth at the head of the market so young Roger Nowell can replace the anodes on the hull.
