The
Newlyn Fish Festival is a great opportunity to shop and try out new
things the fish market entirely devoted to fish and its industry. There
will be a large variety of fish and shellfish for sale, cooking
demonstrations and food sampling. Its centrepiece will be a large
display of locally caught seafood which will be auctioned off to the
public at 4pm. The festival gives the fishermen of Newlyn the
opportunity to show the industry to the wider public who know little
about commercial fishing or its problems. It also acts as a showcase
for fishing-related companies and allied trades to display what is
currently available for the professional fisherman.
Outside
the Fish Market, a large number of stalls will be selling arts and
craft related products and other articles of interest. The Newlyn Fish
Festival also supports 26 different charities which will display their
own merchandise and items for sale along the pier.
The Newlyn Fish Festival is a fundraising event for the Royal
National Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen.
