Full-on #FishyFriday!
Full of fantastic #FishyFriday fish...
like these megrim...
Dover...
and lemon soles...
from the port's most modern beam trawler...
the Sapphire II...
with skipper Paul keeping an eye on things...
not forgetting a few boxes of top turbot...
and rounding off the selection of flat rather than round fish, these cracking ray...
with a just handful of big round fish thrown in for good measure...
never one to shy away from a good covering of ice, fish from the Bonnie Grace is always in top condition...
there's always a ling or two...
keeping an eye on the sale through the round window today...
almost since paper was invented, buyers drop their tallies on the box to ensure they get the boxes...
they bid for...
especially the world-renowned MSC Certified Cornish hake...
too good to miss this morning...
as some of the fleet take a night off...
playing host to some passing trade...
there's still plenty of work for the boys on the Francine...
not long before the angling season kicks off proper...
so the small boats are getting ready for the summer season...
the jewel in the crown...
the Galilee is coming on now...
with only a few big planks to go aboard...
Tom enjoys the view this morning...
and it is probably a good day to concrete the bottom of your pool...
Helen Glover's post box is positively glowing in the morning light.
