Time Tom took ice aboard the Guardian...
on a sunny Thursday...
the local gull population making the most of the solar panels on the market...
late Thursday evening and the sardine fleet find fish...
off Mullion on the Lizard...
so it is the early hours of Friday morning before they are back in Newlyn to land...
alongside the fish market...
though for the first time we see the huge fish pump in action on the quay that...
the Pelagic marksman is now using...
all the boats land at the same time...
to get their fish ashore and aboard the waiting transport...
now, inside the fish market the landings from many of the inshore fleet are all set for the online auction...
which starts at 6am, there are early sign of the cuttle season starting in some landings...
as ever, the inshore boats land top quality fish...
like this racking bream, but which bream species is it?..
one of three big bluefin landed that evening...
though it remains a mystery to many why they are so named as their fins are most definitely not blue...
one of the top handline men from the other Bay had a good day...
as did Cap'n Cod aboard the Butts- with Newlyn's youngest fisherman to join the handline fleet aboard Chris Morley's old boat Rachel & Paul, doing his best to out-fish the master...
yet more inshore fish, beautifully presented for auction.
