Children like looking in little rock pools and bigger pools among rocks on the beach, for sea urchins and little fish and tiny shore crabs, left behind after the tide ebbs. There is nothing big enough to be eaten. But fishing in fishing boats is important for Cornwall. There are fish and bigger crabs in the sea round the coast. Perhaps Cancer should be the Zodiac sign for Cornwall! One crab, the spider crab, needed a new name. People in England didn't eat spider crabs, because they didn't want to eat a "spider". So now it is a "king".
