Black fish new market

Reproduced from the Cornishman Thursday August 20th 2009.

It would appear that Newlyn is still losing out to alternative fish markets with local vessels landing elsewhere. One such article appeared in the local newspaper, The Cornishman last week - where it was reported that some boats are preferring to land their fish elsewhere including a hitherto unknown fish market in Brixton - fresh fish they do indeed sell!
Katri Iivonen, the Cornishman's newest reporter, obviously found cutting her teeth on the very complex world of commercial fishing a challenging task and in future the guys will no doubt be careful she gets her facts down in shorthand more carefully- especially Kenny Downing who now finds himself back at sea as skipper of the Plymouth beam trawler Admiral Gordon with current skipper Archie wondering how he was suddenly demoted!
