They’re basically salty slime that have literally filtered shit out of seawater to feed it to the next person. Can you tell I’m not a fan? I always think the same when I'm with anyone eating any kind of bivalve - you're eating a biological filtration unit. They've literally been manually seeded and used to clean the water in places like Liverpool Docks. Edited April 8 by The Phantom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, by weird coincidence I was reading an article about very similar recently and there were photos of little 1800s chimney sweep type kids with Lobsters of about equal size. I had a hunt through my history, but couldn't find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
