Monday morning and the mist has gone!

After Newlyn was covered in mist for 36 hours over the weekend, the harbour woke up to blue(ish) skies...


and a market full of fish...


much of it from the port's biggest boat...


the beam trawler Enterprise...


monk tails galore...


some fishermen use seaweed, others use old hessian sacks...


to keep the air full of moisture which allows shellfish like these lobsters to live out of water for many hours...


stack 'em high...


top quality fish like these John Dory...


brill...


squid...


monk tails...


and pollock all came courtesy of the inshore fleet that managed to catch the first break in the weather for many days...



hopefully, the start of better weather to come - mists and fogs are common at this time of year as winter moves into spring and the temperature difference between the sea and land masses begins to shift.
