The oyster goddess? She does seem to just have young girl and old crone functions, nothing in the middle, that's true. I do like the whole "pearl" motif among the dedicated worshipers though. Thing is, it makes it seem that she's a bit of a cult apart, a touch more of the Wise woman/sacred oracle thing. I happen to like that, but that isn't a daily life of the fisher-folk goddess by any stretch of the imagination.

Golod? I've never heard of Golod.

Of those? Mussel Girl, preferably with fries. (Why yes, I do have close friends of the family in Belgium, why do you ask?)
