I hate you!
I haven't had mussels in probably 3 years.
NO, I don't consider it gluttony.
Others might..................but we are free men in a free country, right?

If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Them ayesters are great, but I'd really rather have a 5 gallon bucket of mussels picked fresh off the rocks in NorCal. Complete with limpets and barnacles attached.

One of my most memorable meals in this life was a paper bag full of steaming, freshly picked periwinkles from the seaside off Scotland's east coast in summer. Sewing needle or pin required. Similarly, mussels get a bad rap for whatever reason but IMO are dynamite when properly prepared . A few pounds fresh picked off a jetty, steamed in beer or white wine with garlic, chives and maybe some fresh dill and lemon juice tossed in? Crusty Italian bread slices for sopping up the juices? Fuhgettaboutit, kid. Rich, nutty, meaty, with plenty of citrus? Straight up fit for kings.

Incredible ... See, there's a man who knows. Pronounced 'ga-lee-thee-ah'. A cat I knew in another lifetime was Ignacio, AKA Nacho. He was from the south of Spain, and was of an extremely wealthy family who made their fortune with oranges and specifically, marmalade. One of m student workers back then. Stupid family wealth. We called him 'El Rey de Marmalade'. I busted two of his ribs in a mosh pit at an open seating Green Day show on the banks of the Charles River in Boston in like 1999. Giggling aqui, hombre.

I know when the time comes and I'm not taking care of my father any longer, I'm flying up for a week of just eating. Damn it's been what like 3-4 yrs since I've been up there. F-cking covid bull chit.

Incredible ... Percebes (Goose Neck Barnacles) are even better in Galacia. Even the octopus in Galacia is good.

I just won't eat oysters or mussels, but I'll sure tear up a lobster.

No, definitely and emphatically, no.

Looks amazing.
I'm not a seafood person - don't care for most fish or lobster but recently in the last 2 years tried mussels and liked them okay. How does an oyster compare?
