Try Scotts of Whitley Bay,not sure of prices,as a rule Runnydowns are frozen lug,you need to ask for fresh Black Lug

Don\'t think you can get fresh runny down. As far as I know they\'re big blacks with their guts removed and preserved by drying. (I\'m off for a quick google and may be back with an edit) If fresh lug is pork then runnydown is bacon type of sketch. And the fish often like bacon!

As Alan and Ell have said Runnydown is gutted and frozen Black lug, if its fresh blowlug you are on about then you can pay between £3-£4 a score depending where you make your purchase.
Fresh blacks are more expensive because of there size, I pay £12 a pound, but they are big buggers.
Hope this helps

rutherfords had some fresh runnydown in on friday, not sure how much it was though he also stocks frozen runnydown.
superb bait often outfishes fresh blow lug several fish to one, probably the best standby bait you can have in the freezer. you know if the sea suddenly comes away you don\'t have to faff about trying to find a tackle shop with fresh worm in.

Nice one Ell? Been a while - how you keeping?

[Hedley]

Oh! - back to original post - average cost £3.50 - but \'quality\' can vary. Billy usually always has some in and will happily tell you how good it is. You can get those that are like liquorice - excellent (but taste sh*te to heteros) - and in my experience, the best, Always have some in your freezer + mackerel and squid.
