Langoustine on Monday morning's market in Newlyn.

More signs of summer, the beam trawler Enterprise, not to be outdone by the visiting Scottish prawn trawlers landed a few boxes of prawns herself, perfect for the BBQ...


as would these two cracking Couch's bream be...


more in keeping with indoor dining are these plate-size plaice...


and these less well known witch soles...


good to see the guys taking the time to cut out the cheeks f the larger monks that they have been catching rather then let crabs benefit from them...


the flood of octopus being caught shows no sign of abating either...


more traditional beam trawl fish like these megrim...


Dover sole...


and monk tails...


along with the added bonus of good sized John Dory...


a very dark-skinned bull huss from the inshore grounds...


handline fish from the inshore boats were mainly down to pollack...


while mackerel landings are almost non-existent at the moment...


so t is down to trap caught cuttles...


and bass for those who can catch them to make up for the loss of traditional summer mackerel...


which means the resident scrap hoover is probably hungrier than ever...


the ex-Valhalla now Andromeda...


landed a few boxes of frozen langoustine, weighed and boxed at sea...


then loaded onto the back of the waiting transport...


before fresh supplies of flatpack packing boxes went aboard for the next trip.
