'Tiz a cool Monday morning in Newlyn.


Those cool blue hues mirror the ambient air temperature of 0˚ this morning which was lower than inside the fish market...



as the Billy Rowney made her way at high water to land her trip at the market...



inside there were both inshore ands offshore trips of fish like these big beam trawl brill...



and haddock...



and inshore brill...



and Dovers from young Mr Curtis' trawler, Lady Lynne......



the beam trawl catches included these good looking tub gurnards...



and a splash of Mediterranean octopus and red mullet...



and a couple of incongruous conger...



lovely lemons...



and for those in the know, there's roe...



and more rouge mullet to tickle the taste buds...



and evidence the Dover sole season is hotting up...



changes to the regulations for the catching and landing of spurdog have changed this year...



somewhere amongst all those mainly mackerel stacks...



is the box of fish the Wiffer was looking for...



ray, the fish that just keeps on giving...



RNLI relief boat Volunteer Spirit at rest...



early signs of Spring are when the sardine boats begin to put their huge nets ashore for end-of-sardine-season overhaul...



that's where we like to see the Penlee lifeboat, at her mooring...



sun up and it's time to take fuel.
