FOTW is Back

Regulars to fishoftheweek will no doubt have been a little disappointed since Christmas to discover that the FOTW week site has been rather quiet. FOTW staff have been busy with other aspects of their fishy lives. After all we are not nerds here at FOTW. Well we are back, with time on our hands and fish to drop on your desktop. A recent trip to the Caribbean has resulting in FOTW divers making a significant fish discovery. In the near future we hope to bring the first images of a never previously photographed species. Watch this space.......

Cornish Showcase - Spider Crab

Anyone tell which end is which? FOTW friends Katy and Gareth dodged surfers just off Newquay to grab this one.
Once again thanks for your cornish delights. Any chance of a piccy of a pasty or some clotted cream?

Cornish Showcase - Dogfish

Our penultimate creature from Cornish waters is the humble dogfish. This one gave itself away by barking at a passing post office boat delivering mail to St Ives. Once again we are indebted to FOTW friends Katy and Gareth for being in there when it mattered.

Cornish Showcase - Curled Octopus

Our third photo in our Cornish showcase is an excellent snap of a octopus taken while FOTW friends Katy and Gareth were diving just off Newquay. More evidence that it is worth braving the cooler waters of the UK.

Cornish Showcase - Mating Sea Hares

More evidence from FOTW friends Katy and Gareth that our own waters have some spectacular things to see.

Cornish Showcase - Cuttlefish

As promised we are featuring some home grown specimen to wet your underwater appetites The first of our Cornish Showcase is this cute little cuttlefish spotted just off Lamorna by FOTW friends Gareth and Katy. Thanks guys for the photos.

If you are tempted to visit Cornwall, FOTW can recommend Coast to Coast (BBC Radio Cornwall Monday to Friday 6am until 9am) for all your local news and events. An excellent listen I am reliably informed.

Scorpianfish

Further to previous claims of dwindling fish stocks at FOTW this one has been dug out of the archives. FOTW can also announce a forthcoming Cornwall showcase including some wonderful creatures spotted just off our own sub tropical (well....) coast line. Watch this space.
