When we were kids in the late 70's we would go shrimping at Rye Harbour with our dad. One time we got 8 gallons of shrimps and we took them home. They were cooked in our kitchen in sea salted boiling water and then cooled on tea towels. Me and my sister would go door to door selling them for 50p a pint.. In those days there were plenty about along with a few prawns too along with the odd weaver fish. I knew Jimper ,he was one of the local characters. The good ole days.
