Muggy, misty, mizzly Monday morning in New;yn.

It seems flaming June did not turn into inferno July...


not that the fish take any notice, plenty of top quality hake from the Ygraine on this morning's market...


to go with a few boxes of scad...


dinner plate sized turbot are still being caught by the boxful...


as are every netter's nightmare, spurdogs...


top fish for flavour and delicate flesh are brill...


at the opposite end of the scale are BBQ favourites blue shark...


and for those who love something different to cook, John Dory from the Britannia V...


and the less well know small eyed ray - difficult to spot when just the wings are landed...


beam trawl favourites included Dovers...


and monk tails...


all of which need careful tallying up...


also from the Britannia V, a handful of boxes of blacljacks or saithe...


which bream is this?...


red mullet...


mackerel...


and bass will no doubt be on sale across the country tomorrow...


those eyes really are small...


and that back really is thorny...


turbot a-plenty...


while crawfish keep coming...



as do hake for the net boats...
