Monday morning in Newlyn.

One things for sure, the roads won't be jammed with September trippers headed for any of the local beaches...


so hopefully they will head for any of the dozens of local restaurants and pubs that serve freshly landed fish like these brill from the market on Newlyn...


at this time of year sardines are a must-have...


so you would do well to head for 45 Queen Street in Penzance where they currently do a top job with their sardines and chermoula...


there were seine caught spurdogs...


from the Acionna...


and whole monk...


looks like these big Mediterranean octopus are here to stay...


beautiful handline caught bass...


and blackjacks from the Maverick...


a box of the best...


a handful of haddocks...


and, if John Dory are your thing, then there's no better place to head...


than The Shore in Penzance, especially as there may well also be freshly cured bluefin tuna on the menu too...


won't be long before that 'box of the best' is making its way back to Pysk Fish headquarters in Falmouth...


the Karl fleet at rest...


those sardines scales get everywhere it seems...


two sail boats with classic lines graced the pontoon berths over the weekend...


while the not-so-classical lines of the two biggest sterns in the port lie side-by-side this morning at high water...


looks like a couple of hours mending, or more, still to do on Danny's big sardine net...


local artist Robert Jones perfectly capturing the handline fleet at sea fishing for mackerel back in the day - more of his work can be seen in the Thomas Henry gallery in the heart of Newlyn.
