EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the Mary Evans Grenville Collins Postcard Collection, we are transported back in time to the bustling fishing port of Yarmouth, Norfolk, in the early 20th century. The image captures the raw beauty and authenticity of the local fishing industry, as a box of freshly caught "Real Yarmouth Bloaters" is carefully packed and prepared for transportation. Bloaters were a traditional type of herring, which were caught in large numbers in the North Sea around Yarmouth and other coastal towns in Norfolk. The fish were gutted and left to bloat in the sun, allowing their flesh to soften and take on a distinctive, rich flavor. Once the bloating process was complete, the herring were packed in salt and left to mature, resulting in a deliciously savory and slightly smoky taste. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of the Yarmouth fishing community, with the men in their rugged workwear, the wooden crates and nets, and the simple yet functional packaging used to transport the fish. The box of bloaters in the foreground is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the local fishermen, who relied on the sea for their livelihoods and the sustenance of their families and communities. This photograph is not only a fascinating historical record of a bygone era, but also a reminder of the importance of traditional fishing practices and the role they play in preserving the unique flavors and culinary traditions of our past. Today, Real Yarmouth Bloaters are still produced using the same traditional methods, and are highly sought after by food enthusiasts and gourmets around the world for their distinctive taste and authenticity.
