Don't be selfish - eat more shellfish!

Next month will see the annual Falmouth Oyster Festival tickle the palates of anyone lucky enough to sample these pearls of Falmouth estuarine waters. Unique to this country, a fleet of traditional sail boats using hand-hauled dredges work the shallow river waters around Falmouth. Wether these succulent taste bombs contribute to prowess of one kind or another is, as ever, subject to conjecture. The boats are in many cases ancient and, of course, entirely free of concerns over the cost of fuel as the licence they fish with demands that they are soley sail powered.
