Monday morning in Newlyn.


Another day starts for Jamie Roberts aboard the Three Jays...


while inside the fish market there is just the one beam trawler and a handful of inshore trawlers along with two mystery netters this morning...


more like a box of snakes...


cod showing off their blood-red gills...


the plaice's tail...


the head of the meg, as megrim sole are known...


young Roger Nowell's haul of John Dory...


from a sea of them...


though Tom on the Harvest Reaper managed to steal a few this trip...


while Bracken scooped up a few reds...


and a handful of haddock...


a solitary prize specimen of a John Dory...


with its remarkable tail...


while Mr Curtiss stuck to his soles...


all of the boats seemed to get lucky...


 with a single bit butt each...


though mystery netter one, the Ygraine's was not quite...


the beast from the Elisabeth Veronique...


you know where you are...


almost celestial this morning...


and rays of sunshine are not the only rays on the market...


but there was another big shot of hake from the other mystery netter, the Ajax...


her fish getting the once-over form the buyers...


with keen bidding and good prices...


Radio 4's In Business production team were on the market this morning talking here to Paul Trebilcock from the CFPO about Brexit and the future of fishing from a Newlyn,perspective...


with a few hake ear-wigging the conversation form their boxes...


T is for turbot...


and H is for MSC Certified Cornish hake...


two inshore trawlers queue for ice...


one VHF radio for sale, a bargain!

May the 19th #FishyFriday


Just the one Scottish prawner in port last night...


and her whitefish (the prawns go by lorry back to Scotland for processing) went on the market this morning along with six other inshore trawlers' fish and another mystery netter...


cracking line caught fish form the pollack king, Dave Smith on the Sea Spray...


while Brackan popped a good shot of lemons ashore...


while Tom on the Harvest Reaper bashed a few of young Mr Nowell's JDs on the head...


all of which kept the buyers busy bidding...


two shades of Dover sole...


name this fish...


when it comes to red fish these red mullet take some beating...


though a tub gurnard, buried in sea salt and baked whole are truly delicious - give them 30-40 minutes in a hot oven......


a pair of bug brill, much beloved of British Airways transatlantic flights at one time...


best butt on the market...


rare and very expensive this morning- the not so humble mackerel...


you've been framed...


true to the man's word, the occasional shower forecast duly arrived at 7am...


not before a superb shot of MSC Certified hake sold quickly on the market from this morning's mystery netter, the Govenek of Ladram...


who also provided a few cracking big red mullet...


and this huge 5kg plaice!..


ahead of the inshore netter, Sovereign Ocean Fish's scalloper Men Dhu has just arrived to unload her catch...


life on the edge...


there are net drums...


and net drums...


the port's newest sardine boat's is all but rigged ready for sea...


while the Radiance is half way through her paint job.
