Borough Market @ London, UK *****

Colchester Native Oysters

Have you ever seen such enormous oysters in your life?!?

A trio of these exhuberantly briny beauties supplied heart-stoppingly fresh from creeks around Mersea Island in Essex by Richard Haward and family, was enough for me to have a full meal and to make me promise myself never to eat anemic, questionably refrigerated restaurant oysters ever again.

Special thanks to my friend Ian for expertly initiating me in the sacred ritual of Borough Marketing.
