Storm Austen's #FishyFriday inNewlyn.

 


The Ocean Pride was safely tucked up in the harbour this morning...


after rolling her way to the gaps at dusk last night as Storm Austen swept across the South Western Approaches...


"invisible down the sloe back, slow black crowblack, fishing boat - bobbing sea"...


in from the blackness of a stormy morning the market is end-to-end with fish like these Dovers from the big beam trawker, Enterprise...


bonito are sill a thing...


if you haven't tried tub gurnard give this special fish a go- best dishes are when baked whole...


those hardy punt men ave been out and nabbeed themselvs a few squid before the storm hit...


others grabbed a good shot of mackerel...


the octopus are on the march again...


with the size of landings growing by the week - at the newly re-furbished Red Lion in Newlyn there will be an evening event based around the film, 'Before the Last Octopus' on November the 2nd...


the trawlers do their bit to keep the ot boats supplied with bait...


while landings of megrim...


monk...


plaice...


and Dory came form the big beamer...


it was the Ygriane...


Ajax...


Britannia V...


and Silver Dawn...


that filled Bay one with good shots mostly of hake...



that's it until next week, all the fleet are now in port until Sunday when some may get awaya again.
