A not very successful panorama of the shellfish I learnt how to prepare on Saturday.
I've wanted to learn how to dress a crab for a long time - it's something my Dad used to do when I was young. We'd buy a cooked crab from the harbour at Brixham or Paignton and then he'd pick it and dress it sitting on the beach.
So I found out about a course at Billingsgate market run by passionateaboutfish.co.uk/ and booked it as a birthday present to myself. It was fantastic and totally exceeded my expectations.
We prepared tiger prawns, langoustine, scallops, oysters, a lobster, squid, North Atlantic prawns and also dressed that crab. The instructor's wife cooked everything he had used to demonstrate on, plus the mussels (stuffed) and the clams (cider steamed), all for us to eat for lunch, accompanied by the odd glass of wine or two. What a fantastic experience.
And I got to bring home everything that I had prepared, so the family got to eat wonderful seafood for supper last night.
Definitely to be recommended

This is one of my favourite seafoods. Brown Crab. This is a male/cock crab and was quite feisty when provoked.
While on holiday in Scotland my wife and I arranged a trip on Ian MacWhinney's creel boat. We had a great afternoon learning about Lobsters, crabs, langoustines and other interesting things about the loch and the islands. Highly recommended. www.shellfishsafaris.co.uk/
Chum salmon at the end of their long amazing journey from sea to their ancestral gravel in the same creek they were born in. They deposit egs and sperm in a redd or nest they have cleared gravel from and then they die, all energy expended.

Lots of seafood sellers have a bamboo pallets of mixed seafood available - fish, clams, shrimp, squid, octopus and some other unidentified things. Maybe used for seafood stew?
We bought this from an old woman by the sea in Fukuoka. Non of my japanese hosts seemed too keen to eat them, so I ended up eating nine. They were still alive when they went under the grill...
All over 1.5 inches in width; these are locally known as "steamers", and make a wonderful clam chowder.
Most of the shellfish aquaculture in Napeague harbor is scallops, so I assume this to be the nursery. This pond is actually more of a lagoon as it is connected to the bay.

Shellfishermen and women worked the early morning low tide in Brewster today. Shellfishing license holders in the town of Brewster benefit from the town's "put and take" oyster program, which is open on occasional days during the late Fall months.
