    I’ve harvested and cooked muscles for over 30years my family owns a commercial fishing fleet scallops, lobster, bottom fish like haddock,cod,redfish and crustaceans.. I like to think the recipe we used for many generations is the best way, we just
    Quick bath salt water
    Few cup of ocean salt water big pot add tap water bring to boil, old bay, salt that’s it..
    Boil until all open i like them a little overdone and yellowish better texture i find
    Small side melted garlic butter
    Small dip side of white vinegar
    Dip once in each and down the hatch
    Unbeatable
    Drunken clams are pretty good too

      Thanks for sharing, that recipe sounds great! A lot of chefs turn their noses up at old bay, but in my opinion it works well for mussels, crayfish etc. In Europe, we use Spigol, which is like the French equivalent of old bay.

      Hey there. Im vegan but I want to include mussels to my diet, but I am wary of the environemtanl impact of farmed vs caught mussels. Few q's:
      1. Is it true farmed mussels are much less harming to the environment? Are there other animal casualties? Bycatch? Discarded used equipment?
      2. Is it true that most of mussels in the market are farmed since its more cost and work efficient?
      Thanks!

    How long do you think the cooked mussels will keep for while marinating in the stock?

    • @ONTHEPASSWITHMAX
      @ONTHEPASSWITHMAX  2 роки тому +1

      Fresher is better when it comes to mussels cooked this way, unless they are preserved/canned. In this case a few hours to a day (in the fridge) before serving is fine. They may keep longer than that, but the flavor and texture start to decline.

    Question regarding mussel stomach, that dark green bump on the side, no need to remove that?

    • @ONTHEPASSWITHMAX
      @ONTHEPASSWITHMAX  Рік тому +2

      You can if you want to, although it's more an aesthetic reason than for texture or flavor. This is just algae, which is normally harmless. There are a few cases where it might be a sign of an issue, however. Mussels are filter feeders, so it's important to source your shellfish from very clean water. Ride tide would be an example of a harmful type of algae bloom. Bioaccumulation can also happen in any seafood product without any visual signs. If you get your mussels from a decent fishmonger, you'll be fine!

    Prefer Italian way. Clean outside , not too much fresh water. Get into pan and get them straight forward but definitely will try your way. ✌🏻

      Nothing wrong with that! Especially with smaller varieties of mussels with smaller beards, just cook them with a little white wine or stock.

    Don't put hot stuff in the fridge put it on the window ledge or outside to cool of quicker

    • @ONTHEPASSWITHMAX
      @ONTHEPASSWITHMAX  7 місяців тому

      A fridge is a controlled and sanitary environment, a window ledge may not be. Yes agree that you shouldn't put something piping hot in the fridge, but shellfish and its juice (this or a similar portion) is fine.

    So I guess you don't need a steaamer

    • @ONTHEPASSWITHMAX

      Steamers work well, but this method is the best in my opinion. For me, keeping the cooking juices intact is important, so much flavor.

      No, they were all alive before cooking! But always make sure to remove the open ones that don't respond before cooking and the ones that don't open after cooking.
