Despite some pretty abhorrent weather over the last few days the netting fleet did their thing...
and filled the market with fish in the run up to the final full week before Xmas...
and this time hake were very much on the settling sheets for the Britannia V...
Silver Dawn...
Ygraine...
Stelissa...
Ocean Pride...
and Ajax...
pollack are still vey much evident in all landings from the fleet...
as are bass for some of the inshore guys...
all duly noted on Mr Smart's Monday morning's tally...
the last couple of years have seen a remarkable decline in haddock landings, yet another fish seemingly affected by ever=changing environmental conditions...
back in the 1969s to80s the bulk of Newlyn's fleet fished with longlines and these three species represented what were the main white fish landings at the time, cod has all but disappeared from the market these days......
while our eight-legged friends are still making up the good proportion of the fish landed on the market today...
and dogs are still very much in evidence on the netter landing documents too...
box after box of these guys were all over the market...
so which...
is which, red or nt?...
time to get the morning's purchases off the market and away to the customers...
the festive spirits are upon us...
as another heavy shower washes down the harbour..
