Yerseke is a typical place that no one notices, even knows where it is or has even thought of going there. We go there once a year for one thing only: to eat! <\/p>

Approximately 45 minutes drive from Antwerp<\/a>Just over the Dutch border, you reach Yerseke on the banks of the River Scheldt. The Schelde then flows into the North Sea. The village has around 7000 inhabitants and many work in the fishing industry.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is precisely the fishing industry that the village is known for, with large farms of mussels and oysters in particular. These are cultivated some distance out in the Scheldt, bottom farming or hanging cultures, transported to more neighbouring basins and then sorted, packaged and distributed. <\/p>
