Scallop time

A chef's dream turbot, umarked belly flesh in pristine white, sure to make good money on the market this morning......
along with good hauls of ling.....
and a big shot of these good looking examples of Stone Bass not often seen on the market in such large numbers....
tan sails in the sunrise......
a large group of visitors get shown around the auction, ably assissted by Lionel with his fish-guides hat on this morning......
making sure the best pollack on the market stay that way, the Sea Spray's fish get a fresh icing while they wait to be sold......
looking good with all their scales still intact as a result of being kept in slush ice and chill boxes......
more signs of summer on the way with the arrival of inshore scallops on the quayside.....
and a very efficient deck layout on the Katie Claire.
