Many hands make light work

The 'Dom Bosco', two weks into her new life in Newlyn gets a helping hand from the crew of sister boat 'Cesca' to land her days haul of shellfish.

Many of the crew on these boats are Latvian or Polish.'Little Pearl', 'Pride of Cornwall' and the 'Pru Esther' land another catch of herring and Cornish sardines.
The sardines are tipped into plastic tubs with iced water and held in the market chill rooms inside the market within minutes of hitting the quay.
The crews from all three boats work together to see that this operation is carried out as quickly as possible to mainatin high standards of quality and maximum freshness.A few minutes later the same sardines are looking good on the griddle....So much so that Kevin is caught red-handed - seems the Cornish sardine is irresistible!
