Salt
was important in Cornwall when we had a pilchard fishery. Salt was used to
preserve the fish in barrels, “head to tail”. The fish was sold in the Catholic
countries of Europe (fish every Friday). Some salt was made in Cornwall, but
salt from Brittany was considered to be better. Sometimes the fishermen waited for salt from France before landing their catch. There is a rhyme written by
John Boson (in about 1700) about pilchards and salt. “Pilchards! Pilchards!
More salt!” You can read all of the rhyme in this blog:
