Shannon and I stopped to visit Bjorn and Christine's cabin on our bikeride along Hood Canal...and discovered a field of mussels on their beach...we learned how to harvest mussels... never cut off the beard...and loaded bags of the delicacies onto our handlebars...I'm sure we made quite a site as we traveled back down the road on our bikes...with the chef's rules fresh on our minds, we cleaned and rinsed and cleaned...we opted for the spanish version with a little cream, wine and saffron...then clipped the beards away just before adding the mussels to the sauce...so many...we had to recruit the neighbors to help us eat them all...
Yum! Are you going to be out at the canal this weekend? We are going over tomorrow sometime.
