It's #FishyFriday again and we've sardine, anchovy, plenty of fish and a boat goes up on the slip!


The days are getting shorter with the light not quite in the sky by 7am in Newlyn...


but it's bright enough on the market this #FishyFriday morning...


black bream...


red mullet...


sharks...


shellfish...


tons of mackerel...


monk...


and 12 tons of cuttles...


small squid...


big squid...


and this week's bonus prize for the sarine boats, anchovy!..


line caught squid for sure...


and the march of the octopus continues...


the Rachel & Paul giving young Will a good haul of mackerel again...


while Mr Smith lands himself another big bluefin...


out on the hunt...


dawn patrol...


as the village that must have helped a certain Dylan Thomas create the atmosphere of Under Milk Wood gets bathed in that typical autumn low Newlyn enjoys at this time of year......


Sparkling Star IV looks like she's headed for the slip...


with Jeremy trying to keep her on the straight and narrow...


PD supervising things from the cradle...


while the winch waits...


to haul her ...


up the slip...


and the watchful eye of the tugmeister...


and the man with his finger on the button...



up she comes...


ready for the work under the waterline ...


to begin!
