EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the late Victorian era of 1888, showcases the intriguing process of preparing Pinks Potted Bloater, a delectable relish hailing from the coastal town of Great Yarmouth. The image reveals a dedicated team of workers skillfully handling the bloaters as they are being transformed into this much-loved delicacy. The bloaters, a type of herring, are first highly cured in the traditional Yarmouth manner, ensuring their rich and savory flavor. In this photograph, we see the next stage of the process, where the cured bloaters are carefully loaded into steam machinery. The steam gently cooks the fish, infusing them with an additional layer of succulent texture and taste. The pink color of the finished product is a result of the natural rosy hue of the cured bloaters, enhanced by the cooking process. The potted bloaters were a popular food item in London during the 1880s and were highly regarded for their superior quality. The image not only captures the essence of the food industry during this period but also highlights the dedication and craftsmanship involved in producing such a delightful and delicious relish. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the rich history and tradition behind the humble pink potted bloater. It is a testament to the enduring appeal of Great Yarmouth's culinary heritage and the importance of the town's fishing industry during the late Victorian era.
