Paignton & lobster
Paignton sits on (or just inland from) England's South-West coast, where crab and lobster have been potted for centuries — Newlyn was recorded as a harbour back in 1435, and day-boats still work traditional withy pots along the Cornwall and Devon shoreline.
🦞 Lobster lore
Lobster was once so abundant in colonial New England that it was fed to prisoners, servants and used as fertiliser, eating it was a mark of poverty until the 1880s.
