I was never the biggest fan of Mussels, but I had an idea that might make them better. Does the size of them matter? Mussels are one of the easiest types of shellfish that anyone with a fishing license can gather. They're found between the intertidal zone at nearly any rocky locations. Easy to harvest and each person in California is allowed to take home 10 pounds each, everyday. Only thing you have to watch out for is the closed months. ALWAYS call the biotoxin hotline before going out to gather Mussels, clams, scallops or any other type of shellfish.

I mean am·nee·zuhk 😂. Not the best weather for fishing lately. Sorry for the slow uploads. No chance to do the float tube video yet either. Still waiting for that along with the opportunity to do more camping videos. Going ice fishing for the first time in a couple weeks so something to look forward to. Happy new year!

@ryanwaege7251 3 года назад

Have fun on the ice. If you hear cracking, RUN! Just kidding, that's normal 🤣

@terryhsiao1745 3 года назад

One major hint for getting mussels without any sand or particles in them: put them in fresh water for 1/2 hour, then pour salt generously in that water , stir with a broom handle (large stick) then these mussels will spit out all the sand and cleanse themselves entirely. Then after 10 minutes, stir vigorously with a large stick to get the exterior particles off, drain the water, rinse once more, then ready to cook. Guaranteed that you won’t get any mussels with salt or grinding nasty flavors in them. Bon appétit

@rgmaclaren 2 года назад

This is similar to cleaning crawfish

@tristinsmith9632 Год назад

@@rgmaclaren no it isn't. You don't put salt in water to clean crawfish. Let me cut you 100 times and put you in saltwater.

@anthonyniiyama767 3 года назад

If you let them soak in salt water for an hour or so the sand should filter out naturally so when you do cook them it won't have all that sand and poop.

@AlaskaPirates 3 года назад

I have a bucket with small holes drilled into it, i suspend it off my dock into the salt and let them purge themselves, works great!

@ChezJ1 3 года назад

So you should purge them right? You shouldn’t just grab and cook them right off the rocks correct? That’s what I’ve always been told.

@AlaskaPirates 3 года назад

@@ChezJ1 yes, that is one way, you can also clean them if the option to purge does not exist. You would open them up before cooking and clean them, then prepare them.

I'm a fisherman from Vancouver island Canada and one thing I always do before I go on the boat is download your content . I'll be hundreds of kilometres off the coast of Tofino and when or if I do get a break I have your videos downloaded. Your videos keep me grounded, thank you .

Good one Matt!! Back in the early 70s when camping in Mexico we would forage and as a group bring in Abalone, Fish, Clams and Mussels. Great times and cleaner waters. This taste test was my lesson learned for today and I never gave any thought to cleaning them either. We had a big drum made up for the steaming but a small setup like you have would be nice too. Thanks for the lesson!
