Bluefin season underway from Newlyn.

With well over 100 bluefin tuna licence applicants applied for and only ten handed out this year looks like supplies will be at a premium.

Kicking off the season, Andrew Pascoe fishing aboard the Huers, landed a brace of bluefin after locating a school feeding around 10 miles SSE of Newlyn...

On the downside, Andrew spent the previous two days, 30 hours at sea and steamed over 100 miles with no fish coming aboard - that's why they call it fishing!..

To land these hugely popular eating fish at their very best, each are gilled, gutted then individually packed in ice in insulated bags designed specifically for the job...

so that buyers like PyskFish from Falmouth can supply their customers with the fish in the very best condition.
