As Sarah and Neythan grill fresh local mackerel on an impromptu beach barbecue their children ' tired but happy from a day's surfing swimming and rock pooling ' gather round to help brushing oil sprinkling salt and adding their own freshly collected limpets. It is a typical day out for the family who live near Helston and run a pub in St Ives. 'Living by the sea is so much fun' says Sarah. 'There's so much to do whether it's a day at the beach a cycle along the coastal path or even an inland walk from which you can see both the north and south coasts. We love the fresh fish and shellfish ' we eat all sorts of things that we have gathered or caught from razor clams and mussels to sea bass and of course plenty of mackerel. And I also love seeing the sea every day. Even just a glimpse in the distance is good for the soul. '
