The photograph above was taken this morning, about 06.00, and Hastings Fish Market is still open to the trade, and a fishing boat had just been launched from the beach (just out of picture to the left, heading eastwards). Further to my recent blog about Hastings enterprising fish industry, today I had confirmation from someone working down there (photograph above), that fish caught locally is still being sent over to France and Belgium, which is a good job considering that 90% of fish caught by the Hastings fishing fleet is exported!
Also, I heard from elsewhere that some very tasty Dover Sole was available recently from one of the huts behind the market on the Winch Road, a lovely fish indeed.
Oh yes, and the Government has apparently woken up and started helping fishing ports and boats that are in trouble economically (Guardian).
Be careful folk and keep on keeping on!
