The times they are a changing, weather more like it this morning...
as the blazing sun pierced an open fish market door...
and the packed auction floor...
hake...
and pollack from the netter Britannia V....
monk tails for the Annie May...
now being hauled away...
cod...
and more hake from the Ygraine...
superb looking fish...
like Dover soles...
piled high...
inshore fish...
included crab claws...
whole monk...
every box tells a story...
the fine weather meant that inshore boats were able to fish well...
for bass...
and line caught pollack...
from all round the coast...
inshore trawl fish of all kinds...
including turbot...
and John Dory...
early morning fishermen...
well worth a read is Rose George's, "90% of Everything" - how most of what we own travels by shipping container, mostly from China...
electrolysis, where pipework is eaten from the inside out in pipework carrying seawater, the bane of every boat and why anodes are fitted to the outside of hulls to reduce the inherent danger...
more sardine net repairs...
three very different inshore boats.
