Whistable Royal Native Oysters


Royal Native Oyster Stores on the sea wall. It is a sea food restaurant now and you can still get native oysters from the offshore fisheries. These were very popular with the Romans.

  1. I hope they've refreshed the stock of oysters since the Romans last came to sup...

  4. (That old cliche) how hungry was the first person who tried oysters? and/or were they suffering from the influence of naturally fermented fruit products and did it for a bet? Apparently it started a long long time ago considering the piles of oyster shells found in those South African caves

  5. I love bivalves of all kind but our daughter has developed a bad allergy to them (or rather, to something in them). So we mostly do without. She grew into the allergy, I'm sure she will eventually grow out of it.
