It's #FishyFriday in Newlyn, the busiest fishing port in England.

For one skipper in the port it's time for a New Venture in the new Millennia...


those pots keep coming...


it's a tight turning circle...


another souvenir from the days of sail......


more fodder for the local gribble population...


there's a maze of concrete...


just been poured...


and levelled...


as the foundations for the harbour's latest building project gets off on a good footing...


prime fish galore on the auction floor...


on another summery day...


there's lobsters...


lemons...


John Dory...


haddock...


and red mullet all speeding their way to a wet fish counter or restaurant table near you...


a heady mix of prime fish...


name these beauties...


the fish are wrapped and ready to roll...


not a bad day's work for one of the best bass men in the port...


though these guys are proving a little more elusive to find let alone catch...


megrims, by weight the biggest part of a beam trawler's catch in the summer months...


the favourite fish for these eight legged fish...


are anything with a shell...



as anyone who works pots will tell you, this very often, the only evidence that there was a lobster in the pot...


tropical vibes...


and the auction doors are now sporting plastic curtains designed to keep the cold in and the gulls out!
