Oyster Hunting At Bedruthan Steps, Cornwall
Love Oysters? Then come foraging for them the sustainable
way with Bedruthan Hotel & Spa's Oyster Hunting Break.
Join expert oysterman, Tim Marshall in Porthilly, where the
Marshall family has farmed oysters and mussels on the banks of the Camel
Estuary for four generations.
Here, ankle deep in mud, you'll scour the tide line for
delicious native oysters and there will be ample opportunity to try a few
succulent examples right there on the tide line. You will also gather a haul to
take back to the hotel for a cooking demonstration by one of Bedruthan's chefs.
Britain's native oysters are in decline, but scientists
agree that the best way to save them is to eat more of them. Dr Philine zu
Ermgassen, an oyster restoration researcher with the Nature Conservancy, says
fishermen are the biggest champions of oyster restoration here in the UK.
Ermgassen and others believe that creating economic demand is the best way to
support fishermen taking care of, and restoring, our remaining oyster beds.
The Oyster Hunting Break is 3rd March or 19th October 2013
from £275 per person for a two night break.
Oyster hunting will take place on the Saturday only and
lasts five hours including transport to and from Pothilly.
