September's 1st fish auction in Newlyn.



A fine start to the working week...


with settled weather most of the fleet had indeed 'gone for it' over the weekend...


so the first market for September saw plenty of fish available to the buyers...


including MSC certified hake form the netter Ygraine...


stone bass...


monk cheeks...


brill...


and plenty of trawl fish from the resident inshore fleet who made the most of a fine weekend at sea...


while fish like these lovely big ling...


squid...


and even crawfish will go a long way in keeping more discerning buyers busy bidding...


especially for line caught tagged pollack...


and a good run of handline caught mackerel...


meanwhile, there's some new developments as a result of Covid-19 financial support with a new kid on the buyer's block in the shape of Cornwall Fish Direct...


also on the market this morning were plenty of quality flats from the beam trawl fleet like these monk tails form the Twilkight III...


plaice...


lemons...


and Dover soles...


enough to keep the porters pulling stacks of fish boxes off the market floor...


young Roger Nowell's new boat Immy landed a good shot of inshore fish including these squid...


while the Trevessa's fish were held over for tomorrow so as not to flood the market...


good to see supplies of big ray continuing...


withe the auction still under way the netter  Karen of Ladram heads in to land the final shots from her trip...


name that fish...


late season John Dory...



while Mr Cleave went for the red mullet...


young Edwin bought plenty of monk tails...


a selection of fish tallies...


it's a while since the largest scalloper in the UK has been seen in Newlyn after a trip off the north coats to land...


and dredges to maintain...


by the crew...


not content with fishing for fish the Crystal Sea put ashore another bag of litter...


tidy inshore trawler.
