I would happily become a Roman to be able to eat it for days on end (call the slave with the bucket!) bring on the Scallops, cockles, shrimps, prawns, mussels, clams, calamares alla romana and finally a dozen oysters.... 
Then maybe to finish of some Lobster and Champagne -not in Morecambe though (sorry), at a gorgeous little place called Sa Tuna on the Costa Brava....the grilled sardines are to die for too.....  To finish off a dish of Arroz Caldosa.....

Often used to be our Saturday tea, sitting round the table picking winkles, shelling prawns, digging the meat out of crab claws or those fiddly little legs...
Cockles mussels and whelks didn't figure at home but I still love them, especially from a market stall on a little plate with pepper and vinegar.
Calamari I'd never heard of till I went to Greece in 1970 and it was a lot later before they hit the UK.
You'd think as an island nation we'd have a lot more to do with shellfish. Can't understand it. Think all we produce gets exported. Shame!!
