Lobster potting

A recent visitor survey showed that 98% of visitors to Northumberland said they loved the scenery, serenity, the castles and activities. What they were disappointed with was the shopping and food and drink.
This picture was taken about a mile off shore from Amble in Northumberland. We have a wonderful array of seafood that annoyingly often disappears off to Spain and other Meditterreaan countries to fee the hoards of toursits each summer.
Northumberland’s seafood is known to be amongst the best in the country. Lobsters, flatfish, oysters, crab you simply can’t beat it. The noble kipper has graced countless breakfast tables across the world and Seahouses folk will proudly tell you that it all happened because of a fire in a herring shed in the village!

Lobster potting, Amble, Northumberland

This a lobster fisherman hauling in his pots off Amble, Northumberland. That's not the horizon behind him but the five foot swell we were out in. Not at all rough but still quite worrying! Have a great day wherever you are.
