Early morning footage of men walking along a beach - they are cockle fishers. Various shots of the men rowing out to their boats then chugging out to sea. Nice footage of the fishermen at work.

C/U of cockles being dished out at "Barney's London's Famous Eel Stall". Various shots of man in a flat cap (a cockney according to the narrator) enjoying some cockles - we see him putting vinegar on them and eating them with his fingers - yeuch!
