Sea to Plate - The Processor
The journey of a North Sea Haddock from the sea to our plate needn’t be a complicated one! In fact it shouldn’t take more than 24 hours. Danny Couper Jnr is a second-generation fish merchant. His father Danny Snr started Couper Seafoods and Danny Jnr's son Jaime is now working for the business. Danny explains the role of the buyer and processor in the journey of a North Sea haddock.
Plenty of ground sea
The Trevessa IV leaves Newlyn as the forecast gives a few days of fine weather.

#eatmorefish !
Phil Lockley shot this short footage to show how monofilament nets look underwater - as you can see it doesn't look much, which is how the fish don't get to see it either! These are very similar to the nest used by netter like the Ajax fishing for hake and white fish.
Just the same as these sole nets, on nets rigged to fish for hake the footrope has lead embedded in the lay of the net, while the head rope, in addition, has small floats at regular intervals. Either end of the net (between 5 and 20,000 feet long) is held on the sea bed with steel anchors weighing around 130lbs.
#fishyFriday is here again! #eatmorefish !
Despite the inclement weather, three of the port's bigger boats toughed out the week to make good landings this morning...
stacked three or four high, boxes of...
monk...
more monk...
and more monk...
and even more monk...
Dover soles...
and more megs filled the floor along with...
some flying bass...
glowing tub gurnards...
enough to keep Ian busy shifting boxes...
with a full moon in the sky the net boats have finished their landings for the this tide...
some sort of sign from the cuttlefish artist...
a cross to bear...
the beast that is the Sapphire III...
and a visiting cat typical of the kind used to service wind-farms from Maritimecraft.
