El congero!
One end of the market was busy with beam and trawl fish.........
with evidence of congers moving across the grounds at the moment.......
much debate on the market about exactly which fish this little chap is [Think the Gary M might have caught a alfonsino or alfonsin, Beryx decadactylus - looks about right to me - Sue Mason]- about 30cm long and caught south side of the Scillies........
landed courtesy of the boys on the Gary M.........
the skies looking a little less menacing than they were yesterday.......
which means that the Gary M can take ice and get away again for the rest of the tide, expect to see her back in Newlyn landing for Monday's market........
a few day's work ahead of the boys on the Crystal Sea II it seems........
or else........
one Kernow flag flying in the strong northerly draught.......
