While diving off Selsey, Sussex, England to help a local fisherman to renew
his mooring I found a number of live oysters. They were lying on the seabed
amongst the moorings close to concrete blocks which had iron chains
attached. The opinion of a few old sages was that the oysters were inedible
because they were close to the iron chains. Is there a connection?
Others thought that the oysters being off the beach in the Solent, in a
tidal area, were ok to eat. My friend told me he ate them on Monday and he
is still around. :-))))))))
Is the English Channel so polluted that the shell fish can not be eaten?
