#FishyFriday faces a fishy famine if the weather continues





Awash with seaweed and pebbles from the beach, Penzance prom is strewn with storm debris yet again...


as surface water pours out through the sea wall...


the sky in the Bay looks fearsome...


as the morning sun picks out the classic Art Deco pub the Yacht Inn...


such is the state of the weather even the Jubilee pool is flooded...


work still needs doing on the beam trawl gear...


while all the fleet remain tied up in port...


the Nowell fleet will be hoping their boats will ail for the grounds off Plymouth tomorrow...


after an incident with Crow Rock...


the Scillies supply boat, Gry Maritha is in Penzance Dry Dock undergoing hull repairs...


while the Mount languishes amidst a seemingly never-ending succession of westerly waves washing ashore...


washing ashore...


pop-up fish shop is proud to say where their fish come from...


and have some top drawer fresh fish for sale on #fishyFriday...


make a note of their winter opening times!


Despite the horrendous weather five fearless Frenchies fish on #fishyFriday off Falmouth


Never mone the weather as long as we're together, five French trawlers are working south side of the Cornish Coast geting some respite from the severe norwesterly winds tonight.

Try this on your next deliver of Cornish Hake #eatmorefish

When the Ajax lands at the end of next week there wiull be fresh supplies of Cornish Hake.
Try this Great British Chefs' recipe from Geoffrey Smeddle!

The saltiness of the chorizo and bacon perfectly balances the earthy chickpeas and fresh coriander in this delicious roasted hake recipe from Geoffrey Smeddle. You'll need to soak your chickpeas overnight for this recipe so make sure you plan ahead - alternatively you can buy tinned, cooked chickpeas and save yourself some prep time -
