From boat to Market

Once the nets have been emptied so begins the process of getting the fish ready for selling on the market (in our case Newlyn Cornwall)

Each different species has it's own box, above we have cod (there was some cod quota left), whiting in the box on top, then in no particular order ! some haddocks, pounting, dover soles, lemon soles, witch (another variety of soles) megrims, brill (also known as the poor man's turbot)

Each box is weighed 

Then labelled, noting the species, weight, and most importantly the boat name so they pay the correct boat !

Then iced to keep it as fresh as possible

It's now all ready for the Monday morning market,
