Arrived at this town around 6pm, just when fishing boats come back to unload. Talked to the young fisherman working from the small boat who came back with 3 big boxes of cod.

He had been out for 14 hours, only catch cod, this amount  (low season now) will go for around Euro 16,000, from guesstimate of the raw weight of fish, is around 2 euro per kg from source.
The bigger boat have more people working, other than cod, there are species like Spotted Catfish, Red fish and Haddock. Again tried to buy a small haddock to taste, and got given one free.

In the evening, caught a few flounder and one cod at the sea wall.
