Wow. Thanks so much for the votes, chrise, spike, tyke, and fiery, for the mention, paul, and for the nifty prizes, eider.
There was a time when some of the lobstermen on our island turned to sea urchins because the Japanese paid $2000 a pound for them (they may still pay that, and the same for elvers). Imagine. I think they’re disgusting. We went to a very lavish birthday party last night and everyone was raving about the oysters. I just don’t get it. (Oooo, such tasty slime.)
