It's #FishyFriday in Newlyn
Cold and damp outside, pretty much a full house on the market this morning...
when it comes to being goggle-eyed the ling takes some beating...
these guys come with a hefty price tag this week...
known as murgis (from mor ki) locally but better known as 'blind lizzies' by the fishermen of the Clyde around the Girvan area...
one of the biggest mouths in the sea for the size of fish on a turbot...
plenty of megrims with the beam trawlers today...
the hardy herring - best well grilled and eaten with plenty of butter on brown bread...
will these guys show up on the counter of 'The Fish Shop' for tomorrow's grand opening in Camberley?!...
squid don't often come much bigger than these guys...
the glorious red gurnard in all its finery...
the skin of which fish?...
not bass for sure...
not so many cuttles with the beamers this week...
down the quay the future is brighter...
now that the re-wiring is underway...
the boats have their own power supply of course for their powerful deck lights.
