Wednesday is hake day in Newlyn.




Cool blue hues this morning...

though with the amount of blubber and fur this guy enjoys he probably thinks it is positively balmy...


it's a full market this morning with plenty of big trips from the likes of the Ajax...


Ygraine...


and the Ocean Pride all landing plenty of HSC Certified hake...


and the bass are back in town...


putting plaice in its place...


the boats can land dogs again, this is the first of them since the ban was lifted - not that any of the netting fleet are keen on catching them as they do much dam age to the fragile nets they use if caught in any number...


though they would be happy to catch more of these bug fellas, if only they fetched a decent price...


inshore trawl fish, keep those ray coming guys...


one decent cock crab...


top turbot...


a few more mackerel being landed these days...


tubs, always a good catch...


the greater weaver, tasty indeed...


and more shiny ones...


typical inshore trawl trip...


stack 'em high...


plenty of young Mr Smith's prime pollack...


and higher still...


and more shiny ones...


at least when a cat goes aground you don't have to worry about ;leaning her into the quay as the tide drops...


visiting Brixham beam trawler, Kerrie Marie...


and the Monty of Ladram both put their fish ashore headed for sale on Brixham market tomorrow...


one of the few restaurants in west Cornwall right next to the sea with a ringside seat of harbour action.
