this morning's arrivals are alongside the fish market...
boxes being lowered by Alan on the Kelly of Ladram guided by two of his Filipino crew...
on to pallets...
before heading for the coldstore...
most of the fish, like these megrims on the market this morning came from the beam trawler Cornishman skippered by Jimmy Barnes...
cuttles...
monk...
and lemons made up some of the trip...
along with monk tails...
plaice...
turbot...
red mullet...

while a few inshore boats managed to find some sheltered coast and pick away on a few inshore cod...
and mackerel...
before they all head for the buyer's transport and process and packing tables.
