Newly appointed members the new Newlyn Harbour Commission have taken guidance from the Good Governance Guide to heart - tomorrow's NHPC meeting is throwing its doors open to the public. Any harbour user or interested party can attend the meeting - held at The Centre, St Peter's Hill - and the first 15 minutes of the meeting will provide a forum for ideas and comments from an open session - after which memebers of the public are welcome to listen - but not take part in - the rest of the proceedings. The meeting is due to start at 10am.
One major difference to this board under the new constitution is that members have been elected on merit to represent all harbour users and not specific areas as in the past - for instance, there are no longer representatives of the boat owning or fish merchant sectors - instead, individual members may have been selected with a particular skillset, commercial, financial or industrial knowledge that together with the other board members provide a broad church from within which decisions on the future of the port may be made.
In good time, the minutes of these meetings will be made public.
After chopping a fennel bulb and then the fronds (for a garnish)...... add them to a large pan of salted boiling water while, into a separate small pan, push some brown crab meat through a sieve add a large knob of butter and few tablespoons of water - heat through till a sauce forms...... once the past and fennel are cooked, drain and add the sauce to coat the pasta and chopped fennel along with a 400gm of white crab meat - some might say it doesn't look so appetising but it does have a knockout creamy taste! - coincidentally, the only recipe on the Dartmouth Seafood festival web site is another pasta and crab dish from Devon super chef Mitch Tonks.
A big ray of sunshine...... shellfish Portugal bound from the Pen Glas....... and there's more to come..... as the Nellie makes her way up the slip...... we knbow you love it really Debbie - looking forward to the next nine years!
Back from a quick refit at Toms' of Polruan the Crystal Sea II wastes no time in getting the gear aboard and underway..... Nathan supervises unloading the lorry...... as a consignment of the boats trip comes ashore for Monday's Newlyn market..... skipper Phil guides a stack of boxes up from the fishroom..... and away to the lorry...... while the fishroom is emptied of old ice..... there's plenty of room aboard the Govenek of Ladram's galley and mess...... and the view from the skipper's chair over the huge selection of flat LCD monitors.... which include the very latest in 3D chart systems...... away on the port side of the wheelhouse more concerned with navigation than fishing operations.
