Inside the traditional setting of Newlyn Fish Market, representatives from Tregida Smokehouse, London’s Moshi Moshi, The Goan Seafood Company and many others will be offering a wide range of seafood dishes.

Many of the fishing industry’s key organisations and agencies will also be on hand, bringing issues such as sustainability, pollution, education and training to life.

Sea creatures and exhibits from the Marine Conservation Society, Reef Rockpool Road Show and the Lobster Hatchery will enable children to learn all about marine life and what they can do to protect our oceans and Cornish seafood for the future.

Fishermen will be demonstrating traditional maritime skills including Withy pot making and ropework, while Seafood Cornwall and some of Cornwall’s top chefs host the popular cooking and fish filleting demos.

In and around the harbour, visitors will be treated to a fancy dress boat competition - prizes will be awarded to the best dressed fishing boat and crew. The RNLI, HM Coastguard and helicopter crews will be putting on rescue demos whilst the Lifeboat Gig Race shall once again determine the winner of the Trafalgar Trophy.

A selection of fishing vessels, from historic luggers to modern day trawlers and crabbers will be present with crews on hand to describe the fishing methods employed in the South West along with anecdotes of life at sea.

To further highlight the positive regeneration and investment in Newlyn Harbour, a model and presentation of the new £7 million Fish Market by architects Pringle Richards and Sharratt will be on public display.
