A fishing experience different to the fish counter šŸŸ

How on earth could I get so excited seeing a fishing trawler bringing in it’s weekly catch? But I did šŸŸšŸ˜

The residence of Maryport, quite calmly queue up along the dockside, as the local fishing trawler makes it’s way along side the jetty, to unload it’s wares.

Lining up in an orderly fashion, the locals wait to see what fresh fish the trawler has brought for them. An array of prawns, plaice, crabs, lobsters & monkfish were lifted off in large trays covered in ice cube trays.

I have been to fish markets before, whilst abroad, and been told the fish came in that day, but I had never seen this awsome sight before.

It certainly makes a change from buying fresh fish from the supermarket 🤣

Sadly, I wasnt in the market to buy that day, but hopefully, another visit to Maryport, I will take the camping stove / bbq and get the fresh fish.

Shopping queue for the fish, can’t get fresher than this 🐟
