"O Oysters, come and walk with us!" The Walrus did beseech.
"A pleasant walk, a pleasant talk, Along the briny beach:
We cannot do with more than four, To give a hand to each."

• Production of Firth of Forth in 1800 – 30 million oysters pa
• Dramatic fall in production in England thought to be related to advent of railways
• First imports to boost production made in 1870s – Crassostrea virginica from USA and Ostrea edulis from France and Holland
