This short animated advert begins with a basket of pilchards set against a sea chart showing the southernmost tip of Cornwall. The port of Newlyn is prominently marked. Tomatoes appear in the animation before we close on a packshot with graphics saying 'The best of the catch in Shippam's Pilchard and Tomato paste.'
