It might say Beryl on the bag but this big bluefin tuna was landed by the sardine boat, Lyonesse caught while fishing in Mounts Bay...
Monday's market, despite the fresh breeze over the last few days saw plenty of fish up for auction with a good mix of all those species fr which Newlyn is renowned, like these black bream...
red mullet...
BBQ fish like the smoothound, a type of shark...
and, of course, the usual mix of quality flatfish...
though this year's most unwelcome guest, the Mediterranean octopus still shows little sign of disappearing from the landing sheet - the consequences of this year's invasion by a species whose preferred diet is lobster, crab, crawfish and any other fish with a shell will not likley ake themselves known until next year when the inshore potting and scallop boats head out...
that's one big bass...
John Dory, always a great favourite of fish restaurant chefs...
there's still much to learn from the current bluefin tuna fishery - and taking samples of stomach contents will help identify their preferred diet - though anecdotal evidence form the guys would suggest that if its big enough to swallow, bluefin will eat anything they can catch...
unusually dark-skinned lesser spotted dogfish, a sign they were caught well close to the shore on hard ground...
the gulls they are a-wheeling...
in the near gale of sou'easterly wind this morning...
another day begins at the Resource Centre build...
getting your 40ft trailer going astern down the New Quay is never easy...
one of he ports newest crabbers...
like many other boats now rely on foreign crews - hopefully, the new Resource Centre willbe home to Seafood Cornwall Training and provide youngster from the Uk to take up a career in fishing insead...
let's hope the Penlee Lifeboat stays on port in tis weather...
and doersn't have to go to the aid of one of these guys who hasn't checked the forecast...
the sardine fleet at rest - all hands looking forward to the small celebration taking place this coming weekend at the Cornish Sardine Festival here in Newlyn...
even in their first year there's not much to like about the look of a greater black-back gull...
Admirals' and ex-Admirals of the fleet in port...
the heavy lifting team have arrived...
meanwhile the boys on the Crystal Sea are now on their second day...
of mending thanks to a discarded cable...
and to get the job done and all you need, according to the old saying, is a sharp knife and a plan...
meanwhile, the second big bluefin tuna is ready for loading...
into the back of the waiting transport.
