Monday's marvellous fish from Newlyn
Look! new railings on the promenade...
as low cloud rolls in across the Bay...
sun-loving John Dory will be out in force in a few weeks time...
while lemons are a good choice of fish at this time of year...
is the collective noun a gaggle of gurnards?...
the Miller's Thumb will give the unwary a painful swelling if handled incorrectly...
it would take a lot of toast to go with these roe - alternatively maybe one of the local merchants could smoke some of these and give us some classic Newlyn taramasalata...
golden pollack form the Britannia IV...
plenty of hake this morning from the Ajax...
and some top-drawer line caught pollack from mr Smith's Sea Spray...
looks like it could be one of those days weatherwise...
when the low cloud stays put...
and shrouds the harbour in mist...
giving the place an eerie feel in low light...
talking of lights, two down two to go...
that Greek hero Ajax lays outside the IFCA protection boat St Piran...
the meter is running!
