i went out to the bay and worked the waters edge over two tides and got enough to do me for the rest of the year about 100, its a bit of fun, if your thinking of doing it buy your salt in tesco's only 47cent, you can pay up to €2 in the local shop for the saxa, makes a difference when you are buying ten bottles of salt, the cockle lake produced the best

thanks too the PM's received

I'd love to see the look on the crab's face when he takes a nip at this.
