Heading for the gaps in only her second week of fishing, Inter-Nos, the latest boat to join the Cornish sardine fleet...
though she had to wait for the Billy Rowney to be nudged out of the gaps...
with the outside temperature lower than the inside of the market the fish were looking pristine on this morning's market, though only a few boxes of cuttles with the Enterprise which was the only major landing of the morning...
with a good selection of ray wings...
name this fish...
a smattering of handy cod...
and monk tails...
while the slack box of squid next to the cuttles is a reminder of how the larger mesh size used by the local trawling fleet has impacted on squid landings - most simply pass through the mesh of the trawl and cod end these days...
unlike this lucky conger...
a sign of the times, the auction is going green...
inshore fish like these sardines came courtesy of the Pelagic Marksman...
along with a few mackerel...
and bass from other inshore boats...
plenty of fish is just what makes these guys smile and be the happy chappies they are...
and what's not to smile about when the day starts like this?
