Monday morning's market on Newlyn fish auction


Buyers busy bidding amids...


a sea of black ink...


bass...


tub gurnards...


scallops...


and more bass just some of the superb fish being put ashore on Monday's market in Newlyyn...


though young Roger's smattering of John Dory is merely a taster for the summer when these fabulous eating fish will be in season congregating around the rocky approaches to the Scillys...


spot the difference? - these are not Dover sole but sand soles...


these are Dover soles...


mighty meaty ray wings...


and some huge plaice form the Sapphire II...


along with lemons form the Trevessa V...


and a handful of handline mackerel...


get whisked away pronto...


big boats catch big fish...


the truly tenacious cuttlefish...


leaves its mark on the market floor...


outside its 0° so Edwin moves fast...


no light yet, the Vesta is still under wraps...


as the day breaks on a clear but chilly morning...


its time to take fuel for the big beamer, Sapphire II...


looking across the promenade to the Mount at first light...


as the Lamorna heads in Through the Gaps.
