A #FishyFriday feast at Penwith College's Senara restaurant



Some of the final year apprentices are all set for a busy night catering for 60 covers...


while chef lecturer Keith Terry helps @StephDelourme prep the hake and monk which will feature on the menu tonight...




the fish was provided by the Newlyn netter Govenek of Ladram...


thanks to skipper Phil Mitchell...


and his trusty crew seen here carefully...



looking after the premium hake which is soon to be included as gold standard accreditation by the MSC...



the hake destined for the college @PenwithSenara Restaurant gets a final wash before going below in the fishroom to be iced and boxed.

#FishyFriday and it's full on fishing!

a JD gazes heavenwards...


collecting data...


on more megrims...


with a few elusive mackerel showing up...


with just the one netter landing mainly hake and turbot...


the fish head for the customers...


rest home for old fishing gear...

time to get the trawl ashore...


from the big prawn trawler...


and stretch it down the quay...


not looking good for the day - a very, very wet looking sky in the offing.

Yesterday the sky was this colour when we woke up...

Vision III at sea on the prawns.


Unveatable! - a pair of Jacks - the Scottish prawn trawlers including the Vision III and the Nereus are working west of the Scillys on the Jones bank.


A short video of the Vision III with her leaving Macduff Shipyard after fitting out and some footage of the innovative use of CCTV cameras - one is in the hull so that the skipper can monitor the propeller - several times a rope has been spotted in the prop - which raises fuel consumption - so the innovation has paid for itself in a matter of months!

Every vote counts on #election day!


The Mission, playing its part in the community today on polling day...



will the result be as tight as this...


the market had a good turnout of fish...


with a good showing from the red team...


name that face...


off to the transport...


while the boats take ice...


on a very different morning from the previous four...


one mizzen mast created...


as Jeremy speeds out through the gaps...


some on the way out...


pass close...


spme on the way in after an early look for some mackerel...


with fishing very slack for them...


Barry calls it a day...


the prawn visitors are still in port...


no doubt keen to go...


like the local boats...


the fine weather means normal service has been resumed...


and the Louisa N gets away again...


as the first customers get to play their part in the future of the country.

Louisa N Bound away



Lousia N sails - with the forecast giving a spell of fine weather the fleet get an early start and head out through the gaps.
