Almost all the fleet is in for a fresh #FishyFriday in Newlyn, apart from a few hardy souls toughing it out!




Anyone who loves in Newlyn will immediately recognise this sky, after plenty of westerly wind and rain, the wind has gone round to the north west and is blowing hard, no doubt the odd shower will pass overhead during the day which will keep all but the biggest boat in the port...

 

the last market of the week saw plenty of hake from the last of the netters to land, top quality fish from the Ygraine......


Britannia V...


and the Stelissa...


a good box of tub gurnards provided some colour...


while sharks...


and haddock just aded to the mix of fish for sale...


the Cornishman was the last beamer to land with megrim sole...


red mullet...

and some a box or three of bass...


along with lemons...


dory...


scallops...


and signs that Jimmy was hitting the hard stuff, plenty of congers...


name this fish?...


and these ray...


each with their distinctive...


features on show,,,



not many whiting get landed these days partly owing to the bigger mesh size worked by the boats...



the only sardine boat to brave the heavy ground sea running last night was well rewarded with around fifteen tons of fish...

and a 110kg bluefin tuna, gutted, gilled and bled....


there's more than a few of these bonitos around too it seems...


he's broken in for the third time this week...


wile his mates sit on the windswept waters off the market...


RNLI-17-07, on passage from Poole...


yet another hardy yacht on passage...


squally weather...


the joys of mending on the quay at this time of year...


the largets trawler is still against the quay...


but the box-washing must go on.
