Oysters

The Roman Emperor Tiberius is said to have lived on oysters practically all of his life. Now I am not suggesting you follow suit, but a plate of fresh oysters from Colchester or Whitstable, served on ice with freshly-ground black pepper and a wedge or two of lemon, is hard to beat.
It is very easy to tell a good oyster from a bad one. The shells of live oysters are tightly closed; those of dead oysters are usually, though not always, a little open. If tapping the shell produces a hollow sound within, it is very likely dead.
