Sad that yesterday (Saturday) saw the last day of trading for the Oystercatcher in the ED Warehouse.


Thank you Martin (Oyster boy) and Nigel (Oyster dad) for your efforts - very sorry it didn't work out. Have to come up with something else to fill that slot late on a Saturday afternoon now. :(

It's a shame for them no doubt. But being a huge fan of oysters I've never been able to justify an oyster at ?1.80 a unit! At Gordon Ramsey with a glass of champagne yes, on a market stall, rip off. Go to the South of France (?tan de Thau for example) you will get the best there and you know what for ?2 you'll get at least 6 if not 8!!!!!!!!!!!!:-S

Hmm, I only tend to eat oysters I've opened my self, which I have bought from a know supplier. Lived in North Norfolk for a few years, so I go to know the locals quite well. You won't get any oysters at this time of the year in those parts. ;-)


A couple of years ago my Mum got really bad shell fish poisoning from oysters that she had in a restaurant in the West End. Her digestive system hasn't been the same since and if anything has turned even slightly, she's really ill. :(


Back to the topic - I will have to try the Oyster Catcher though, particularly as it's so highly recommended. :)-D

Most of our natives get bought up on the continent where they're something of a delicacy. We seem content to eat Rock oysters here, but they're cheaper (supply and demand) and have a bit more meat.

I do love a good native though (ooeer missus).


I like to get them in from Nunhead, Moxons or even better go to the coast and have at them with my shucker, but will sorely miss the Oystercatcher.

F C Sopers in Nunhead, been there 110 years one of the best fishmongers in london, they sell tasty irish Oysters and will open and serve them to you in the shop.


This time of year Oysters are very creamy because this is when they spawn, some people don't like it but others go mad for summer oysters, the french get very excited about it.

    • I agree there are other options, but apart from cutting off bits of the body, which is probably not going to happen here, at least hopefully not in my lifetime, I wouldn't call them"stricter"! Unfortunately ultimately it may depend on what is cost effective in terms of implementation.
    • This year it was Pfizer. Last year was Moderna and I was quite  ill after it for the first time. I think last year was the only time I have had Moderna, but the illness may have been nothing to do with what kind of jab it was, I don't know. I have no idea whether everyone gets the same one in any particular year, but I'm sure someone else on here will know! 
    • Thanks for posting this JMK we have had 3 children at Charter East so have been involved with the school from the very early days and have watched the impact of inconsistent, unsupportive and at worst unprofessional and biased management on them over the years. Individual teachers have at times been great and as JMK says it is the overall structure that creates a toxic and punitive atmosphere which directly impacts some families more than others and these are the kids overwhelmingly that have an SEN.  The experience of these families is night and day compared with the families with children that can cope in this system.  
    • Another recommendation for Lukasz, he sorted out our bifold door. He came at the agreed time, found the issue very quickly, adjusted it, all very carefully and with attention to detail. And he was very reasonably priced as well.
