#FishyFriday in Newlyn.
Fish are stacked right up to the fridge door on a busy #FishyFriday auction...
which saw the top two bass men in the port go head-to-head with that man Cod aboard the Butts just landing a few kilos more than the Cynthia...
sample scallop from the Filly...
just arrived, fish from the bass boat Boy James gets weighed and graded for the auction...
Tom picked up a few Dovers from the inshore grounds...
while the Filadelfia picked away a good few tubs of cuttles for his landing...
Tom really hit the haddock again...
and even managed to tempt...
a few decent bass to cross the threshold of his trawl...
while Don landed a cracking shot of mixed ray...
the buyers quickly worked their way through the first landing of hake for the week from...
the Karen of Ladram...
looking superb they were too...
weighed and graded the tallies about to go on...
just before the buyers stepped in to buy the big bass shot - all of these fish were caught using pole and line...
though a quick look at the forecast for the coming days would indicate that there won't be many line caught bass anytime soon after tomorrow!..
buyers huddled around the Filadelfia's fish...
like these quality John Dory...
plaice, monk and megrim...
Newlyn under a very heavy sky this morning.
