Ah Will, so you're half-Norfolk eh? We have a Sheringham crab and lobster festival, and there's the Lobster Potty thing (Morris dancing - whoopee!!)
Cromer crabs are supposed to be so tasty because the water is relatively shallow and clean and there's a chalk/flint shelf where they live. I like just a tiny squirt of lemon juice on them.
We also have lovely local pork. The pig farms are numerous round here, and the pigs live outside with a little Nissen hut type of house per family (mum and piglets). They can gallop all round their field and rummage in the mud. (Not crammed into cruel pens) So their meat is delicious, full of flavour. Have you ever tried samphire? You can get that at Wells-Next-The-Sea ready-prepared.Sort of a seaweedy thing.
