EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of traditional shrimp fishing in the beautiful and unspoiled Morecambe Bay, Cumbria, England, in 1993. Bob Dickinson, a local shrimp fisherman from Flookborough, is seen holding a bucket brimming with freshly caught Morecambe Bay brown shrimps, their vibrant pink color a testament to their freshness. The tide recedes, revealing the expansive sands of the bay, creating an ideal environment for the shrimps to thrive. The 1990s were a time when the artisanal shrimping industry in Morecambe Bay was still thriving, with fishermen like Bob Dickinson continuing the age-old tradition of using horse-drawn rakes to harvest the shrimps from the mudflats at low tide. The shrimps were then cooked on the spot, often over an open fire, to preserve their delicate flavor and texture. The scene is one of simplicity and connection to the natural world, with the fisherman and the shrimps both embodying the rhythms of the tide and the coastal environment. The photograph transports us to a time when the fruits of the sea were still harvested sustainably and with a deep respect for the natural world. Morecambe Bay brown shrimps are a delicacy, highly prized for their sweet, nutty flavor and tender texture. They are a staple of the local cuisine, often served in traditional dishes such as shrimp fritters, shrimp cocktail, and shrimp scampi. The photograph is a celebration of this unique and precious resource, as well as the people who have dedicated their lives to preserving the tradition of shrimping in Morecambe Bay.
