Early evening in Mount's Bay

The Scillonian passes the Grossherzogin-Elisabeth at anchor...

while a team of gig rowers start practicing for the next World Championships!

Monday's busy market

Good to see the Geordie boys back in town...

these soles are mine it seems...

mountains of megrims from the St Georges and the  Lisa Jacqueline...

such red red mullet, the fish on the Lisa always look good...

the local crabbers get through tonnes of bait per day...

from Grandad, signs of the very best top quality handline caught mackerel...

a couple of days big hake fishing for the net boats...

including the Sparkling Line's glistening hake...

and haddock still on show...

meanwhile, out in front of the fish market, the Cornish Sardine season is now underway with boats like the catamaran, Lyonesse...

landing a good run of fish...

getting the slush ice treatment to maintain tip-top quality the fish is renowned for...

with the punts doing an equally good job looking after their mackerel in tubs with slush ice on board...

which always prove popular with the morning marauders...

signs of Valhalla.

Sizzling Sunday

One man and his dog accompany the Ajax on the way in @ThroughtheGaps...

the Morlaix registered netter, Azkarra lands his fish back in France by lorry, it's cheaper and less time consuming than steaming all the way back to Morlaix ot Douarnenez to land and then back to the fishing grounds again during long neap tides like this one...

another ex-French netter, the new Joy of Ladram moves into the ice berth...

the Azkarra has an interesting deck arrangement for handling the fish, she is a dual purpose boat being originally built to fish for crab...

now her and a punt make their way out @ThroughtheGaps...

huge shoals of grey mullet fill the harbour at the moment, elusive little fish they are to...

high pressure dominates proceedings...

what were they thinking and who even began to think that these are suitable replacement railings for a thousand year old fishing port like Mousehole???? #badtaste #crapdesign where was English Heritage when you needed them????...

a little more in keeping, Janner's Chippy, though the girls serving went to the same charm school as the checkout girl in the Only Fools and Horses sketch, #suethemdidyou?...

Scillonian III Penzance bound over the top of St Clement's Isle off Mousehole...

BBQs on the beach galore, great place to live with kids...

a small section of the Rosebud's hull makes a lasting memorial on the roadside leading out of Newlyn...

with a small collection of new houses named after the boat...

along with more traditional examples.

Why fishermen are not exactly enamoured with seals......

93 out of 600 monk - averaging 3kg per fish makes it 507 X 3 = 1521Kg and if monk makes an average of £6 per Kg that comes to a loss of earnings around £9,126.

Wherrytown skatepark open at last!

Mackerel Recheade and the application of heat

Simple Goan dish.

Mackerel done!
