Two towns are specially fam- @us in the British oyster world: Colchester in Essex, over the mouth of the river Colne, and Whitstable in Kent on the south
of the Thames estuary. Both Natives—a name which by law is only given to oysters between Orford Ness on the Essex coast and the South ‘Foreland in Kent, just east of Dover. For some reason this agea in and around the Thames estuary where the river bed soil is Lon- don clay, produces the very best specimens in Britain—the ‘“‘fat- test and meatiest’’ in oyster par- lance. Cornwall, Devon and Scot- land have oysters too, but none come up to the reputation of the Natives. face

Oysters
If your love of oyster goes be- yond the mere eating of them, it is well worthwhile to—make the jaurney down to Colchester and see where the oySter beds are. Colchester is worth a visit for its own sake, too, for it has been a garrison town since the days of the Romans, and has interest- ing relics of its early times and some fine old inns.
representatives of Julius Caesar were not slow to appreciate and develop this British delicacy. In- deed, they found the local oys- ters superior to those of the Me- diterranean and even exported them back home, where they, pro- bably found a place on the Em- peror’s table, for typical Colches- ter Native shells have been dug up in Rome.
Right down the ages Colches-;
-ter—and-—Whitstable oysters have | been one of England's greatest delicacies, and they figure lar- gely in accounts of reasting in fact and fiction. Mr. Pickwick, you may remember, took six bar- rels of “real native aysters’’ with him on his Christmas visit to Dingley Dell. No wonder he was a welcome guest!
Oysters, one might think, would rear themselves like other sea fish, but actually the oyster fish- eries are carefully tended and preserved. They need salt water of a fairly even temperature, and to obtain their food, which is mainly plankton—minute floating animal and vegetable life—the average oyster filters 15 gallons of sea water a day. They “‘spat” |Or spawn between June and Sep- | tember, and each oyster produc- ,es about half a million or more 'spat, of which perhaps ten, sur- \ vive, sinking to the bottom, where they cling to shell or rock.
At the opening of a new oys- ter season the Mayor of Col- chester hauls the first dredge a- board, after drinking the Queen's) |health, but the town’s greatest event in the year is its famous Oyster Feast. No one knows when the feasts began, but they were a well established tradition by 1667. In the early days the Feast was held on October’ 8th, on the eve of St. Eenys’s Day, when a great fair was held in the town. Now- adays the date varies, but it is always during October. The May- ‘or is the host and his 350 guests include celebrities from every side of British -life—statesmen, men of letters, painters, actors, judges, doctors, sometimes a member of the Royal Family, and ivisitors from overseas as well. Women are now invited, too, {the Feast, always held in Col- | chester’s famous ‘Moot; Hall, con- sists of a very handsome lunch at which the oyster is, naturally, the highlight. Yoy’ may, Nbe content with a mere d Na- tives, but some of the guests man- age three dozen at least and the rest of the feast as well!
According to the experts, this season is producing some of the best oysters for many years, so if you happen to be in Bri- tain before mid-May you will have a chance to learn at first hand how the Natives have main- tained aft international reputat- ion for two thousand years.
