Twenty-four things pulled out of the sea make up this list: barnacles, bream, langoustine, plaice, scallops, whelks. Free to print as a PDF, or play it online.

The barnacle had one of the odder careers in medieval biology. Nobody in northern Europe could find the nests or eggs of barnacle geese, so it was widely held that the birds hatched out of goose barnacles growing on driftwood, which conveniently made them shellfish rather than fowl and therefore allowed during Lent. The Church eventually had to rule against the idea.

Two of the names hide what the animal is. A langoustine is not a prawn but a small clawed lobster, sold as scampi or as Dublin Bay prawn depending which coast you are on. And plaice is a flatfish that starts life swimming upright with an eye on each side of its head; within weeks one eye migrates across the skull so that both finish on the side facing the light.
