It's Wednesday and it's quality inshore fish day.

Dawn breaks over the Bay on another Wednesday morning in Newlyn.....
Just one aspect of the protection afforded to the thornback ray.....
the market was full of quality fish from the inshore fleet this morning, boxers of cracking monk tails.....
a huge turbot would make a fine centrepiece platter for a feast.......
accompanied by these mink cheeks......
last bid on the Sparkling Line's white fish before moving on to the hake.....
berthed on the New Quay, two visitors from north of the border......


wait as the transport reverses up down the quay......
the Lerwick registered Copious.......
and sister ship Prolific.......
with a fresh supply of boxes ready to go aboard......
the floats lashed at the top of the trawl doors are an aid to buoyancy and stability helping to keep the doors upright......
signs of computerised weighing and grading kit aboard the Scottish duo......
a deck full of action aboard the beam trawler Louisa N as Ollie and the boys get stuck in to overhauling the chain mats on the trawls.
