In the 1870's, Yerseke on Zuid-Beveland was chosen for large-scale oyster cultivation to serve the French market.
Before long, mussels, which had always flourished in the Eastern Scheldt estuary, overtook oysters as Yerseke’s main source of income.
Mussels and oysters are still a huge industry for Yerseke, and this is the only harbour in the world where there’s a dedicated mussel auction, as well as a day in summer celebrating this shellfish.
So if you love seafood Yerseke will be something close to heaven, especially if you arrive between July and April when mussels are in season.
You can visit an oyster bed, dip into Zuid-Beveland’s flood-ridden past and of course indulge in Yerseke’s delectable oysters and mussels.
