...and you're worried about me gaying up the place.
modnote: please remove this it was a mistake.

41 million pounds were exported from PEI this past year.

I know you love it.

We raise them in socks.


We can harvest them any time of the year - even when the water is frozen (you know, in Canada)

They grow freakishly fast, and there are very stringent regulations on their harvest.


Unfortunately for the hipster-inclined: there are no beards...

Unfortunately(again) we aren't that creative. Anybody with ideas on what to do with mussels should chime in.

Best PEI mussel recipe:
* Let the shell open
** you know when it's open because... it opens.
*

...
Chef instructions
  • Show them around
  • Point out that they're high in omega-3 fatty acids, and basically beef+zync.
  • "Poached Shrimp & Mussels w/ Smokey Bacon & Tomato Sauce

Proper-type recipe:
  • 2-count of EVOO
  • Let it heat
  • "Hit it" with garlic
  • "Hit it" with shallot - a very fun combination between garlic & onion
  • Aromatics (to taste) (or spells)
  • Sweaty Aromatics -> white wine (big amounts)
  • "hit it" with 1lb of mussels (cools the pan)
  • Cap the pan (mostly)
  • Open Shells = delicious mussels.

This is the basis - the most fragrant, the most... clamzingry.

2.2 lbs of mussels requires 7 mins of steaming.
When the shells have opened - taste & enjoy those mussels (Second dish)

(More elaborate TBD)
