There is a great contrast between the market then and now. I can remember the fishermen bringing home the fish they could not sell and those fish are at the top of the menu of sea food restaurants now. Back then no one would buy john dory or red gurnard. At the time rock salmon, as it now called, were called dog fish and they were not even landed, they were dumped overboard. It is hard to believe now that it was impossible then to sell monkfish. The only people who ate monkfish were fishermen's families and the only reason they ate them was because they could not sell them.
