> Chris Neve
Chris Neve was bright eyed and bushy tailed at 6am, as he welcomed me to...
...the Fleetwood fish auction hall, one of the few left in Britain.
The hall was almost desserted when I arrived, apart from...
...Mike Slater, who checks the catch on behalf of the fisheries agency...
...methodically measuring the size of a random selection...
...to make sure that undersized nets are not being used.
Outside, the Colline docked after a night fishing in the Irish Sea...
...Chris left the auction hall to talk to the Captain about his catch;
the boss was keeping a very beady eye open...
...as crates of fish were hoisted from the hold...
...and Chris put his name on the best Dublin Bay Prawns - before they got into the auction.
Inside the hall, buyers are checking quality and freshness...
..evryone waching the others to see who will pay the highest price...
...no tiny signal is missed by the auctioneer.
Typically, some of the finest, fresh Skate and...
...beautiful Silver Hake will be exported to a French Supermarket.
