Certainly not at the door of recreational sea anglers. Perhaps Southern IFCA will have a look?

(You're no slouch either Martin)

Thanks Martin,

Perhaps The Ministry will have a look too!

It did say some were in block of ice/frozen, maybe as suggest a crab fisherman' freezer decided to pack up and he just throw the lot overboard?

I escalated this through the official channels this morning.

 

I saw a similar thing earlier this year with a lot of fish carcasses all over the slip of the RNLI Museum on the quay.

There was some shifty woman selling fish out of polystyrene boxes in the fenced off bit of fisherman's dock, and shifty bloke with her tried to tell me the seal had left all the fish carcasses.

When I said the seal seemed to be very handy with a filleting knife, he sloped off and jumped into a wagon in the fisherman's car park.

 

This is a much bigger scale though, and there would appear to be protected species amongst them.

 

Is that a Tope?
Also, aren't there regulations regarding Salmon?

 

I can't believe this is legal activity, even if only from an Environmental Health/illegal dumping of waste perspective.

 

Will report back if/when I hear more.

Was saddened and surprised to see the pictures

 

I think that is a spurdog by the look of its eyes

 

My thoughts were I doubt its a local guy as they would probably have sold the fish to the potters
