First of the month and the first #FishyFriday to boot!
Looks like the resident harbour seal has found himself a decent breakfast this morning...
as the Bay provides a few more mackerel than of late for the handliners in their punts...
stalwart of Stevenson's fleet, the Algrie moves in to take ice...
three beam trawlers, two inshore trawlers and a couple of invisible netters landed for #FishyFriday's market...
though the short trips mean that there is not a massive amount of fish all in...
there's a good selection of monk tails form the Helford boat, New Harmony...
and the Filadelfia...
Twilight...
and Cornishman...
along with a few Dovers and it would seem that the ambient temperature has dropped judging by the amount of ice left on all the boxes...
which meant that Cefas Gary has had to dig his way...
through the ice to get at the fish...
like these megrim sole...
John Dory...
and even a few alien-looking hake...
with a few boxes of green about...
at the other end of the market the auction is underway for the big white fish haul from the netter Joy of Ladram
and a huge shot of ray from the inshore netter, Little Pearl...
excellent BBQ fish are blue shark...
all watched over carefully by the man from Falfish...
haddock just up from the boat Britannia VI that has just landed alongside this morning...
get the grading treatment from young Roger...
looks like the Joy has been working the wrecks with big pollack...
ling...
and blackjacks in her catch...
more than tempting for some...
while others snapped up a few stone of freshly landed early morning mackerel...
Sea Spray heads in to the iceworks berth...
astern of the Britannia IV.
