Must be a blue moon...
as a Breton boat is landing her fish (haddock) on the market to be sold this morning...
one of the two Boulogne boats working out of the port at the moment...
the Breton fish identified by the word French on their boxes, so much for Celtic solidarity...
it's otolith morning for the Cefas plaice data set this morning...
talking fine fresh fish with @Nicki_Chapman from Escape To all sorts of places is Mr Fish, Rob Wing from @wingofstmawes
with many monk tails on offer from a couple of the beam trawlers...
and a good selection of megrims for the pair to discuss in detail...
just checking the fish facts are correct with the director...
away at the other end of the market, tomorrow's head chefs in the form of apprentices from Westminster College are getting a guided tour of the busy market...
these guys are already working at the very best places in London like the @leGavroche_ and @CapriceHoldings...
so it's good they get the fishy facts from the likes of Lionel on the market...
including the ray and skate quiz...
and, of course, the story about the one that got away...
another cracking trip of turbot from the Gary M...
so which rays were these then guys?...
the Brixham beamer Carhelmar is still in port...
as is the pair of Boulogne trawlers...
looks like its going to be a lre settled day then yesterday, though not much sign of the heatwave the papers were predicting last week - yet!
