For sale, 4.5 tonnes of Cornish Hake courtesy of the Ajax AH32..

Flying visit from the Samway's fish team chat to local fish auctioneer Robin Turner as a trip of beam trawl fish is sold.......
there's signs of a few herring off Cornish shores.......
the tally book shows just what the Ajax put ashore during the night after a long week at sea......
looking good, big, bright, bulging eyes on today's catch......
a sure sign of quality fish.........
the bulk of the fish were in the 2-3 kilo range.......
good to see so many scales.......
a 31 kilo monk, landed whole.......
close-up of the monk's mouth, showing the 'beard', designed to resemble seaweed as the fish's mouth rests on the bottom waiting for its unsuspecting prey to pass close by..............
the full extent of the trip from the Ajax.........
one of the week's jobs to do, get the mizzen sail repaired.
