Does anyone go Seashore foraging?

Crabbing seems a worthwhile exercise. Kids with a line bated with meat seem to be very successful off local peers.

Ah, but would you trust a "local peer" with your kids? And we are often advised to abate the meat...

Whoops! I had dismissed 'pear' as the correct spelling of 'pier'. I won't correct it now just for its comedy value.

That earns my thanks! English is so full of puns (there's also pear/pare) that I don't understand how phonics can be useful or how speech recognition stands a chance...

We often fish from the boat and eat the catch.

If we can go cruising next year I shall take a modified keep net and use it to catch shimps or prawns, something I was good at as a child.

My Brother and I made a large diameter net from a red onion sack and a 26 inch bicycle wheel rim.

By tying three strings to the rim and attatching it to a longish pole it was possible to lower it into the water at high tide near Mill Rythe in Chichester Harbour.

A smelly fish head in the net proved to be a great shrimp attractor. A pint was easily got when the tides were high in the evenings. Several species of small fish were caught too, probably fry.

I would love to especially given mu current financial situation but years ago DDT was used here and has been washing into the sea for years so nothing is edible from the local waters

There is plenty on the East Coast. I haven’t picked any for many years but it is very palatable.

I have it growing around my boat. Haven't eaten it for years.

Can you do mail order?

Please do. Made me think 'Cyril Smith'. One time Liberal Chief Whip, but a little more fond of liberal spanking.

I'm sure something could be arranged.
