Whitstable - the Garden of England

London might have the monopoly on swish fine dining, but Ludlow is renowned for its restaurants and gourmet market, while Rick Stein's busy restaurants put Padstow on the map and Bray in Oxfordshire is home to the Fat Duck, run by Heston Blumenthal, making it the British home of that modern food trend known as ‘molecular gastronomy'.

 

But other foodie corners of Britain are often overlooked, none more so than the Garden of England itself, Kent. Whitstable is known as the ‘Pearl of Kent', and is world-famous for its oysters. In fact, they've been fishing for them here since Roman times, and that heritage is celebrated every summer with an oyster festival, which brings all kinds of food producers – and hoards of hungry tourists – to the town.

 

Whitstable is a town full of character, with a real touch of Olde Worlde Britain in its winding streets, craft shops, sea front and charming, multicoloured beach huts. It's worth a visit at any time of the year, and while most tourists come during the summer, Whitstable is still a bustling place on a chilly winter's weekend morning, when an hour spent along the seafront, looking out to the distant horizon will blow the cobwebs away and help you work up an appetite.

 

The harbour area is of course one of the main highlights, with boats landing their daily catch of fish and seafood straight from the nets. It might seem as if little has changed for centuries, although they now operate a sustainable fishing policy in order to protect stocks.

 

Whitstable Fish Market is located on the South Quay and depending on what's in season, sells all kinds of fresh fish, including haddock, sea bass, sardines and red mullet, plus crab, cockles and winkles – and of course some of the world's best oysters. If you've never tried them before, this really is the place to have a go – you can do so in the many fish and seafood restaurants and pubs around the town.

Have you ever accidentally switched a wedding present with a food pantry donation?

My former roomate hasn't talked to me since I gave him and his bride a box filled with Top Ramen noodles and several cans of pickled oysters. But the homeless guy on the corner of 5th and Clair LOVES the Cuisinart!
Poll: Pickled oysters or Top Ramen?

Not quite that...but I saw a strange look on the bride's face when she opened my gift. It was a statue that I had received at my wedding, didn't like it and re-gifted it 8 years later.

It had been her gift to me...oops!
