Pearl the Oyster Lady on the Kelvingrove Cafe on Argyle Street in Glasgow. Created in 2020, it's one of my favourite pieces of street art in the city.

Riddling oysters this morning, sorting out the different sizes. Like anything oysters don’t all grow at the same rate. It is better to keep the same sizes together so they aren’t competing for food.

I do believe that’s one of our extra extra large oysters and my legs, on the publicity banner for Seafood Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍🏻 Yesterday there was a visit to Parliament celebrating 25 years of Seafood from Scotland

Today’s bonny lochside find

Today it poured in Oban ☔️ for most of the day. Definitely soup weather!
Went home with some extra large oysters 🦪
I chopped an onion, a leek and two cloves of garlic and sautéed them in butter and olive oil. Added 2 tbs of plain flour and cooked through making a roux.
I then slowly poured the oyster liquor into the pan and then milk, whisking until the liquid is absorbed and the mixture is of a soup consistency.
Check for seasoning and use white pepper and a little bit more salt if necessary. Remember that the liquor is already salty!
Put the shucked oysters into the soup and heat for a few minutes until the oysters are cooked. Enjoy!!

The She_Sees exhibition is with the aim of rewriting women into Maritime History. You can visit it in the Portsmouth Historic Quarter until August 2025.
Emilie and Nikoletta visited the farm with a view to photographing women involved in the marine world and listening to their stories. The project includes a shipwright, a boatkeeper, a seaweed farmer, a sailmaker, a navigational officer, a captain in the Merchant Navy, a chief engineer, and others amongst the varied roles women have in the marine world.
