Colchester Oyster Season Opens With Ceremonial Haul
The Colchester oyster season began with a quaint ceremony as the mayor and corporation inspected the fishery grounds from a dredger and the mayor drew the first oyster. Afterward they toasted with gin and ginger bread, a custom dating to royal charters in Richard I’s era. A telegram to the king followed at a luncheon on Peewit island. The Saxons valued the fishery, taking three oyster knives for their arms, now the Essex arms. The fishery lost continental customers in the war but supplied the public and 40 000 oysters to military hospitals during strong seasons.
