Newlyn's first #FishyFriday market in December.


Fresh as they come Dover soles still covered in slime - a sign of the very freshest fish...



a handful of huge plaice from the same boat...



along with Dovers from the Filadelfia...



and a handful of big squid...



handy haddock from the Amanda...



big beamer brill...



and a collection of bass, a weaver...



while a few dozen sand soles from the Sapphire III...



as well as a nice touch of bass...



and big turbot...



yes, that is what they call smoothounds down here...



end-to-end with fish from boats across the fleet...



including line caught herring...



mackerel...



by the boxful...



buyers tallies at the ready...



and a wave from young Edwin...



these look stunning too...


as the buyers rush to bid...



book in hand...



whether it's net caught hake...



or beautiful bass...



spurdogs, green-eyed monsters of the deep...



a good shot of cod for this time of year from the netter Stelissa...



three of the Rowse cabbing fleet between trips...



with another one on the way.
