Pea crabs are awesome we eat everyone we find if they are it berry (carrying eggs) they are even better I just deep fry them. If only we could faem those they would be a very popular dish in asia I think.
Hey Matty, NZ local here.. next time you’re over this way, make sure you try the green lipped mussels. They’re just as tasty, but a lot bigger! Most of our mussels are accompanied by the pea crabs, just take them out! They’re harmless 😊 (I’ve even accidentally eaten a few on occasion lol) mussels are also delicious cooked on the bbq, and then filled with garlic butter once they start to open! I enjoyed the video too
Pro tip for mussels: 2 pounds of washed fresh mussels 1/2 pound of butter 1/2 head of garlic 3 handfuls of fresh parsley, coursely cut 2 big onions, coursely cut Bottle of white wine Melt butter in skillet, glaze onions, add garlic, add mussels, herbs on top, good splash of wine, cover, stir periodically until all shells open. Enjoy! Serve with some crunchy crusted white bread for dipping in the sauce.
The pea crabs with the eggs are the best we used to fight over them as kids as we shelled our green lips after cooking . Nice work NZ is the land of plenty.
Hi Matt, funny ran into the same pea crab issue while eating an Oyster... supposedly it's a delicacy and is good luck if you find one. Great job on the video as usual
Hey mate if you go up north, crawl into a place called maketu. There are some greenlip mussels that grow there that are bigger than your hands. Taste great too. You will need to swim down 2 or 3 meters for them, but if you can't do that then newdicks beach there has some smaller green lips that are out of the water at low tide.
Hey matty, next time you come to nz, checkout the far northern part of north island. Seafoods abundant and plenty locals who can point u right direction..
mate eat those crabs even raw.. they are deeeeelllliiiicccciiiioooouuuussss.... some people use them to flavour chowder... i just like them as they are.

Here's an easy recipe, a little wine or beer, garlic and a dash of lemon pepper. Mussels are one of my favorites. I can eat a whole pot.😀 Dana Dane from USA
Hello from Malaysia! Love your Earthly Eats ep!!! Thanks for doing these vids. Learnt a lot from the tips, do and don't. 👍 btw, mee goreng is actually meant to be dry/fried type noodle. Mee=noodle & goreng=fry. So the powder is meant for dry stir instead of broth. Drains the noodle out after u boiled it, then mix it with the powder and u're done. Good try any way! Hope to see more of your vids in NZ!
@@jeremyyeung2874 Anywhere they grow naturally (don't go thieving them off the farms! haha). Just be sure to check for any alerts regarding biotoxins. www.mpi.govt.nz/fishing-aquaculture/recreational-fishing/where-unsafe-to-collect-shellfish/shellfish-biotoxin-alerts/
I like mine freshly shelled raw, 2 in a slice of bread and that's it. If they've been in the fridge for a couple days, I'd add a fine slice of raw onion and a dot of oyster sauce per mussel. Or just lemon. Whatever is around lol but raw definitely beats cooking them imo. Takes all the unique taste away by cooking it.
Bro you need to get some jandals at least for walking on those rocks you can really do a number on feet walking on those rocks barefoot. Speaking from experience 😂🤙
New Zealand style muscles go better in a cream sauce and black mussels go better in a red Marinare sauce or white wine sauce Either way man they are dog licious. Sa-lurp sa-lurp
Those blue mussels aren't the tastiest mussels we get here and are rather small. Also common in Australia.. perhaps the most famous you might want to try is the New Zealand green shell mussel next time you're here they are the best!
You keep making films i keep watching you live great life style it fun watch the places u go maybe u come san diego where i live. Now show hot spots here fun places
