Foraging Mussels / One of the most sustainable sources of animal based protein you can find
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 มิ.ย. 2024
- *Forgot to mention. You should check your local area for sewage/agricultural/industrial run off before foraging mussels. And also for algae blooms. Mussels are filter feeds and can be full of all sorts of stuff you dont wanna be consuming. Always cross reference multiple foraging resources and never trust just one dude on the internet for all of your info.
Its the middle of winter, the plants, fruit and mushrooms have largely been and gone, and theres not loads to forage. But mussels are at peak season.
Foraging:
You'll need a bag/bucket and something to wear that you can get splashed in.
Preparation:
You'll need an old knife or scraping tool and maybe pliers.
Two bowls of fresh water.
Cooking:
You'll need an onion, a few cloves of garlic, butter/olive oil and maybe a splash of white wine.
Cook for 3-4 minutes or until most of the mussels have opened.

u guna get people killed. put a warning on the video
Was about to say that I put them in a bowl with sea salt water and add a couple of spoons of oat meal leave in fridge over night pumps them up makes sure they have purged great posting like your style new subscription from me my new found foraging friend ❤❤😅
Oops put the water in too
This is very important info, needs to be in the video. Consuming Mussels out of season can be very poisonous
Nice little dilemma, lose 400k views and reupload the video with complete information, or keep raking in the views and have only about 10% of your viewers receive the warning. After all, views are a naturally abundant resource and easy to forage
This video felt like a warm hug
shut up
oh my god it’s an absolute legend for a lot of people’s childhoods
omg thanks for making my childhood bro
This video felt like a peak crazy craft episode from my youth
Guys, I'm blown away by the love I'm receiving on my first proper youtube video. I was not expecting this to pop off. Thankyou 🫀
This is the kind of content people crave mate (including me)
keep making these man, they’re great!
honestly top quality content, more love to ya seth!
Seth! We met on a train down to Cambridge in September. It’s crazy that you are now showing up in my recommendations! Please continue with the long form content! You are doing amazing work brother this is really good stuff. Keep moving forward! Much love from the USA
Absolutely amazing video. Keep it up mate.
Long format. No loud music. No fake YT'er personality. This is awesome!
15 minutes is only long format when compared to tiktok
@@louisgardner5580 From Google's support page for YT:
Shortform videos are under 10 minutes and longform videos are over 10 minutes. Some ad formats are more effective depending on the length of video where they appear.
its misinformed and dangerous.
@@BroDudeDudeYeahBro Expand on this please.
@@obtusesloth46 he wont. nothing wront with harvesting your own food sustainably and making sure you dont deplete an area by taking too much.
"You don't need to go overboard." I think this sentiment can make a lot of our food resources sustainable.
You people have completely made that word meaningless.
@@failtolawl What do you mean "you people" and what word are you even talking about?
I think this sentiment would have prevented nearly every tragedy in human history come to think of it...
@@MJin03fella got unnecessarily triggered by one of those words and I can’t find what word he’s talking about
Try feeding the whole world population with foraging without going overboard.
There two things we need in order to sustain to current world population.
Agriculture and vast amounts of energy ( which mostly comes from fossil fuels)
Look up the green revolution and the influence of agriculture and industrialization on the world population.
If you doubt my claims.
Several years ago I visited family in Ireland with a partner during December. We were walking down by the sea and saw a man foraging mussels. We asked him about it and he briefly showed us how, and before long we had a bag of our own. We Went home and cooked them up similar to how you did and enjoyed them for tea. We found a number of small pearls in the mussels, which I set into a bit of elm Burr as a necklace which I gave to her. Mussels remind me of young love
Lovely story
Wow thought that was just clams that's me sold
1 in 10,000 mussels might have a pearl, and you found multiple? Crazy.
@@IrishRepoMan wow 🤯 I had no idea they were so rare. yeah loads of them had pearls.we gathered them in Howth near Dublin
@@WillBloomy lucky
there's something super refreshing about how open and authentic your personality and video style feels. like a nice soup in winter
@guitarszen whatever makes you feel like a clever boy who is so much better than everyone else

@guitarszen you must be an angry person to go out and type that
Facts
good soup
I came for a mussel foraging video and left with a philosophical lesson on sentience and the well-being of nature
eh, people who consume animal products don’t really get to rant about sentience and shit
@@someloudthunder3578 Are you the philosophy police?
@@someloudthunder3578 ive never once seen a convincing argument for veganism
@@someloudthunder3578 So someone who consumes any animal product at all has no room for discussing or promoting eating sustainably, or what? He made an entire video on why you should eat mussels and why they're sustainable and scientifically an animal protein lacking sentience, and all you can say is "dumb meat-eater, shut up"? This kind of food is far more sustainable than the vast majority of vegan food, unless you grow everything from scratch yourself on an off-grid property. Your negativity is not only unnecessary, but close-minded. Get some perspective.
@@someloudthunder3578 What? You can't talk about neuroscience and scentience when you eat meat? Can't be a biologist/biochemist if you aren't vegan I guess.
Here's a short list of things I like about this video:
1. Artful, simple camera work
2. Clear and succinct explanations on how and why mussels are that good shit
3. Shows the whole process from beach to table including ingredients, preparation, precautions
4. Wholly unassuming and respectful of whatever people believe and honestly gives his opinion
5. Discusses the nature of sentience and explains levels of supposed humane animal protein without being argumentative or combative, in a way that, as the comments show, pisses nobody off and makes everyone respect his openness and thoughtfulness on the subject without claiming to be some "Trust me bro" expert
6. Cozy kitchen and house
7. Dog, very good dog
8. Shares food with very good dog
9. Pot handle broke, funny as hell
10. Genuinely, without preaching or shaming, made me want to eat more mussels because it doesn't feel like someone's talking down to me for making a pot roast twice a week.
If you can make people write out lists of 10 reasons why your first proper youtube video is really good, then you're doing something right. Awesome stuff Seth.
Cringe
@@oniv5240 Whatever helps you feel better man
Not cringe at all great list!
Gotta hate how people are so excessive on the internet.
I believe it even goes against what you liked on the video.
Everyone has to go "THIS IS EVERYTHING, SHOW US THE GOOD SHIT, YOURE DOING SOMETHING REALLY RIGHT, YOURE AMAZING'
its a video about mussels, you liked it, done deal.
Its not amazing, your life has not changed, you didnt need to make a list.
Just enjoy stuff, social media has people used to agrandizing any little detail.
@@CompetitivelyAwesomeexactly my point.
It was cringe.
And its not a "great" list.
Its just a list, an uneccesary one.
And now you complimented it as great.
Is there any point in social media world where anything "great" and "awesome" actually is that?
This production and casual sit-down long format conversation is what we need more of :)
*100k subs later* “HEY WHAT’S UP FORAGERS?”

@@juliusmorselt4701 lmao
Little tip from a mussel eater from the Low Lands, my old mum always tought me to always cook mussels with a fresh white onion. This is not only for taste but if the onion discolours and turns bleuish during the cooking proces it means one or more bad mussels are in the pan and you should not eat them and throw all away. Gre
Great tip thanks
It's 2 AM. I have one of the most important exams for my course tomorrow afternoon. Here I am. Watching a man preparing a food I've never had in my life. 10/10 mate.
You missing out man. Mussels in garlic butter and white wine sauce is a very delicious dish. The only things I would have done differently is add salt, cream, lemon and parsley. Oh and call me a glutton but I would make at least three times as many to fill up on those.
Man, this has got me craving mussels. I'm from Turkey, where mussels are primarily street food. They're stuffed with seasoned rice and steamed, served with lemon wedges to squeeze over them. You crack one open, and use one half of the shell to scoop out the contents and eat. It is amazing I could easily eat 20+ of them in one sitting. Really missing them here in the UK.
Mmmm love me some midye dolma
20+ only? Those are rookie numbers! Now if you'll excuse me I'll go engorge myself on that stuff like a foie gras goose!
Turkey street mussels are so good. I remember paying 4 lira for 5 of them, freshly squeezed lemon juice on the bed of rice with the mussel on... Delicious!
@@JB-bu2lw Those were the days... Now you'll be paying that much for a single :(
Edit: Correction probably even more
I think they were about 5 liras a piece the last time I've seen, pretty expensive now I guess. @@tayflintstoner2873
I absolutely love the absence of unnecessary jump-cuts, makes the video much calmer and enhances the cozy vibes :)
Yes,, and him leaving in bits people would consider “mess ups” like the pot lid breaking xD
I'm chronically depressed and last couple of months were... rough. I don't know why but thus video helped me a little bit go through my day. Immediately subscribed, much love from Russia
there is much beauty in the world
I feel you! Hope you have brighter days ahead! Treat yourself to a nice coffee or tea or meal. Always makes me feel better to get a boba drink or something small!
Do something different. If you are doing the same routine you aren't likely to wake up one day and become happy.
If you live in a rural area go make a fire and cook something outside.
If you are in the city just walk around and find a thrift store or something
I agree with what@@DixieSchizois saying. It's really difficult to get out of a deep depression, but you really just need to take the leap outside your comfort zone and try your best to change your life, no matter how impossible it seems. Easier said than done, but the point stands.
Wish you the bset @marks.7211! I am sure we are all rooting for you!
I wish you the best, keep pushing through and things will get better. This video is so wholesome, that might be what cheered you up. Try doing something selfless to help someone else, that hopefully will help your mood and it’s a net positive for the world.
My wife is from Thailand and we went to Bideford in North Devon. My wife started helping herself to the Mussels off the rocks, went back to our caravan and cooked Phat Kaphrao, a famous Thai dish. That was 1 of the most enjoyable meals I have ever eaten👍
Splendid. The TH-cam Algorithm has blessed us this day!
This vid was actually such a vibeee.
I've seen few things as british as "A cup of tea and a bowl of mussels on a winters day. That's pretty good, isn't it?" *said with the proudest grin of pure joy on his face* I L O V E it.
This channel is like a breath of fresh air, no obnoxious music, graphics, and editing, just a guy with a camera and a microphone
The stringy bit is called a byssal thread and once this is removed the mussel will die, so depending or not if your eating them right away you may want to leave it attached. They are rather easy to remove once cooked.
Here in Galicia, in NW Spain, we do that, like its a legit profession, regulated and very much controlled.
Mussels are a very appreciated dish, we usually eat them steamed and with a bit of lemon. Delicious and very fun to eat. The difference is that, we dont forage them, we harvest them!
We have big wooden platforms on the sea called bateas, with ropes and chains attached to the beams that go down in the sea, where the mussels attach themselves. Its a very lucrative industry!
Yes, the famous ”Mexillón de Galicia PDO”
the vibes are cosy, conscious, anachronistic (aesthetically) and immaculate. much love
Oh shut up with your cozy aesthetic vibes I’m here to ruin it
oh shut up elou.cumcum
@@DroolRockwormthey are saying the same thing that could be said in any century, they’re just saying it with modern language. chill your boots and just enjoy the video
what makes it anachronistic?
Anachronistic lol. Do me a favour. What kind of muppet uses such a vague, meaningless and inappropriate adjective? The video is perfect, I reckon.
From north of France here, we eat quite a lot of mussels. First, nice video !
For the ones that didn't open, you can put them back in the pot and try to cook them a bit longer, for a minute or two. Sometimes it's enough to get them to open. If they stay shut, don't insist.
This video emits a vibe i cant quite articulate, its like spending a rainy afternoon with your grandparents. Excellent
I rarely comment, but your way of going through things is well spaced and "breathes" without any unnecessary interuptions. The information in the video is well displayed informatively but feels more like you are a friend who has a deep understanding of an interesting subject. I would love to have you create more videos of things you are interested in and I wish you the best of tuesdays. I will try to find some mussels when the snow melts :)
Also! Dont feel the need to up equipment that much, I like the hat contraption
Man just serves his tea out of a pan with absolutely 0 explanation like a boss
I used to live by the sea and collect these with my dad. He imparted such wisdom to me on those little adventures. I learned all about how dangerous and yet fascinating the ocean is. I learned about swells , undercurrents , riptides. How to spot them. When and what tides were and how to know when it will shift. Just a boy and his old man making memories. I miss him. This video was just fantastic buddy. Really intresting things you tangent around all while giving information , opinions and fun thoughts wrapped up nicely in a homely chill video. Your a nice kid with a good head on your shoulders. Making a video about collecting mussels interesting and engaging is no easy task and you did a fantastic job!
This is what TH-cam was meant for. I was just having a conversation with my best friend about how ai is showing us how many animals can talk to each other, and that prairie dogs and even cows have a "language". We were both wondering about what we could really consider ethical as a protein source. This is all tremendously fascinating, and I greatly appreciate the thought and time you put into this work
So sincere, down to earth and refreshing style of video. Theres a feeling of being home. Thank you we need more of this
@guitarszen You are so miserable, making the conscious choice to affirm self implanted negativity through every single character you write. Seen you on another positive comment, you don't have to be edgy and profound online, in your pathetic little one sided battle. Drink some water. Chill the fuck out.
omg PLEASE do more foraging videos. i love how entry level this is. so genuinely useful as someone in new england, usa.
such nice content. love the editing style and casual speech/conversation/script or whatever. kinda like asmr but too interesting and applicable to fall asleep to! haha
subscribed immediately, excited for more !!
As someone from the Netherlands, where mussels are a national treasure, I approve of this video.
Honestly, this isn't my normal style of content, but this was so chill, informative, and insightful that it just felt good to watch. Good vibes.
I can’t believe you have less than 1000 subscribers. I could see this quickly becoming a favourite channel of mine - keep it up!
12 hours on and thats already doubled
Bro it's basically his first video 😂
@@maxthomson11 It's already over 4.5k
The algorithm has blessed this man.
@@Goobrinoit really has, this video has one hundred thousand plus view and and the “less then 1000 subscribers” is now 7 plus thousand
Absolutely love how the dog appears in the doorway at 11:41 the very second the heat goes on 😂
So cute :D
My dog always collects a butter tax when butter comes out
This video filled me with immense joy, jealousy and sadness. I thoroughly enjoyed your documentation of the simple act of foraging for a satisfying meal, which consequently made me jealous as I live in a region where I don't have ready access to forageable mussels. Finally, I was saddened as this is an experience I am unable to share my with my beloved partner as they unfortunately have a shellfish allergy.
Thank you for sharing this little experience.
Your poor, allergy-imbued partner haha no coastal foraging today 😂
feels like I'm sitting there by this shed listen to you talking about the ethical aspects of foraging mussels and sentience... I loved it... thank you!
this is peak parasocial stuff
your content's message has really struck a chord with me, can't wait for future long format videos! Keep up the great work
you're like the grandma that gives good conversation whilst doing her thing. amazing video craft dude!
First video? Some might say you have a knack for it, would never have guessed it was your first real attempt at a concise and informative video if I hadn't of read it in the comments. Smashed it. I don't even like mussels, but I was fascinated to learn how to harvest them effectively, goes to show you're not a bad teacher at all.
mussels are really good for dogs! they are full of omega3 fatty acids which prevent inflammation, great for dogs with arthritis or joint pain x
just make sure not to give them with garlic to dogs as garlic is poisonous to them.
Along with onions!
My collie loved mussels. Gave her a lovely coat too!
please never change the format with which you shoot and edit these videos. this was such a pleasant watch
I’m loving this TH-cam style content. Super informational, minimalist, and your passion really shows!
I used to visit family in Maine US in late summers as a kid. We ate fresh muscles every day there wasn't red tide. A HUGE steamer pot of muscles my dad would grunt to lift and pour out, melted butter and fresh corn on the cob and roasted potatoes. So good AND free.
Legend. I planned to make a bunch of videos just like this with the local seafoods in New Zealand but never got around to it and now I'm out of the country. Glad you have filled that space for me with such heart
In a part of Croatia called Dalmatia, we often eat mussels and other clams. The way we cook them is called a "buzara". Onion, garlic, parsley, olive oil, bread crumbs and water just enough so u have some sauce/soup. After they cook you have a nice sauce/soup to dip your bread in or just drink some of it. We also eat the unopened ones, it usually means they had to be cooked more. Great vid !
Yes that's the best way
Never watched you before, ive also never commented on a video before, but within minutes i subscribed, you have got to have one of the best video qualities and casualness that makes you feel like you're sitting across the table from me. incredible job.
As someone also concerned about my health, what I eat, and the consequent emissions, I wanted to add that small pelagic fish are widely available in the west and are also very good for us and the planet. One thing to consider when foraging any bivalves is the proximity to intensive agriculture, large rivers, and harbors. Water from these sources could contain nasty chemicals which are then filtered into the bivalves and accumulate in us. If you live at a lower latitude also keep an eye out for toxic algae blooms whose poisons can also accumulate in bivalves. This was a great video and thank you for sharing! I'll have my eyes open for them
Ah YES more brilliant / educational videos like these please Seth (love the mic on your tweed cap‼️)
My husband and I spent some time in Tasmania in 2013. We borrowed a neighbor's row boat and harvested mussels off the buoys in the bay. Prepared them with curry and lamb and enjoyed with local wine. Such a happy memory. Really enjoyed your video!
This is so pure and wholesome, more of this! The world needs this!
In France they call shellfish 'fruits de mer' which means 'fruit of the sea'. Always loved that :)
italian has the same "frutti di mare". i wonder if any other languages of the region have a similar phrase? its nice i like the phrase i wish it was normal in english
Dutch has "zeevruchten" also literally sea fruits
@@jimmerd 🤦♂️ i literally speak german and not italian so idk how i missed this but german has meeresfrüchte as well. so its at least that corridor up from italy thru sw and germany and nl. didnt cross the channel to english tho. hopefully a danish (or otherwise scandinavian) person sees this and says they use it too that would be tight. i wonder abt polish too esp w the strong connections to german and french? romania maybe? this is actually sick to me how phrases like this spread but are translated into all the languages. dandelion is like that too, its lions tooth in every language i know it in but english (which just took that phrase from french)
@@user-ze7sj4qy6q Hah funny, Dutch doesn't call dandelions lion's teeth, we Day "paardenbloem", which means horse flower
@@user-ze7sj4qy6q And in France we ditched the "dent de lion" (dandelion, aka lion's tooth) for the fancier pissenlit (pisse en lit = pee in bed).
Cause it's a good laxative and actually a beautiful word if you don't notice the etymology :D
English sometimes seems to be stuck with 500 years old french fad. Keep up with your pinbed !
Such a fantastic video on so many levels, can't wait to see what else you produce!
I loved this video. It brought back so many memories of my childhood foraging for whelks and mussels. I loved when you would pick up the shells with the Hermit crabs inside them, obviously we never foraged them but it was educational. We were very poor and it would be like an absolute treat when we got the foraged mussels home. Aww the good old days.
This has to be the closest anyone has gotten to recreating the same magic I felt watching those old river cottage episodes as a kid, and that might be the highest praise I've ever given a youtube video
Bang on
Great video. Be careful with sharing these with your dog. Even when cooked onions and garlic can be toxic for dogs.
The authenticity in this video is so..... pleasant. The pauses in his voice because he's focusing on cleaning the mussels, the steam hitting his face and making the footage foggy, the top of the lid falling off because it's one of his go to pots and not some product placement unnecessarily fancy kitchenware all give the video a raw and real feel to it that doesn't exist in modern TH-cam. I don't even like Mussels but now i feel I have to forage for some at least once in my life. Great work Seth. I hope you continue to make great content in the future like this.
mever mind if the content is valid, just be superficial and concerned about how it makes you feel. Exactly the reason the world is screwed up.
This was awesome, thank you - I'm going to try it as I like only 10 minutes from the coast and I love mussels! I'd love to see more videos on foraging like this, we can learn a lot from people like you. What a way to save money, by foraging your own mussels. Fantastic!
What a wonderful, peaceful, informative video. Thank you Seth.
12:55 you can see this man having his fresh home-foraged muscles, with a cuppa tea and some wine. He's living his best life. Thats a smile of genuine happiness right there.
Loved this, and really looking forward to hopefully more foraging videos. Stinging nettle would be super interesting to see!
I just want to say -- the way the video shot is super soothing and authentic. Please don't change this!!
Very enjoyable and educational. Thank you! I appreciate the way you explain about not taking more than you need, very helpful for new foragers who might get excited and not know the ecosystem well enough to think ahead.
The authenticity of this video is quite enjoyable to watch. Love the lack of music and the clean videography and audio. Very nice my friend!
I feel like youtube is returning to its roots of authentic creators over clickbait videos. I'm here for it.
Fantastic vid love the chill laid back energy it's very cozy and informative
Seth, new to your channel but this is super impressive. There is no ego or flash to your presentation and through your documentation you create an atmosphere that I'm sure most of us would love to visit.
You seem like a poet to me, if that's the case I could see using readings in your videos.
Nice video, makes me want to get intentional about setting aside time for foraging on the next spring low. In terms of sustainability though there are quite a few (reputable seeming) articles online about how it is perfectly safe to eat closed mussels. I myself have eaten closed mussels that I've either pried open or simply cooked a little longer, with no adverse effects, likely there is no need to throw them out.
I once was in france and teenagers dived for mussles at the evening and as dusk came they made little sand pyramids, put the mussels across them, and covered it in pine twigs and branches and lit it.
It was so natural and beautiful and even while I just sat on a few rocks and observed it it stuck with me ever since.
Also:
this video got magical vibes!!! I didn't expect my evening to include a dude cleaning mussels and discuss the definition of conscioussnes!! :P
"éclade de moules" is what you're describing here. it's a cooking method that cooks the mussels under pine twigs and gives them an amazing smoked pine flavor. really tasty and fun to do as well!
This is the most relaxed, productive video I've seen in a while. I love this video. It was such a cool style of video and I enjoy watching a channel that is peaceful, without hate, anger and frustration. There is just a content feeling here. Keep up the good work man!
INSTANTLY a great video mate. You're a straight talking straight forward dude. Love it. Thanks
What a soothing video. Unpretentious and genuine. The best part of the internet
remember to tell your audience about local regulations around collecting mussels - not only the wardrobe. in a lot of countries this is not exactly a "super available food source" because of high frequency fishing.. Overall an amazing video mate just wanted to point that out as on my island it is extremely high regulated so there's enough for everyone, cheers boss!
Easy and simple format. Clean and cozy presentation.
Loved your dog, the fire place, the foraging, the good food and the monologue. What I look for in a youtube video. Escaping from the dummies and finding people you'd want to be friends with.
Great video, I'm a Vegetarian for the most part, but living in a rural area, there are fewer options for plant based protein, so I make an acception for mussels, I have always loved mussels both as a food source and as a component of a biodiverse marine ecosystem :)
Great video! Do you know if it is safe to eat them in Plymouth since there have been sewage overflow into the sea?
Mussels are filter feeders so take in nutrients and pollutants alike... maybe keep away from the sewage sources? i'm in plymouth also and tbh rarely see mussels in the sound anyway! Know any spots?
Love how you share with your doggy.
This was so peaceful and nice to watch.
You were doing soooo good until you said their shells are carbon.
Its calcium...
Ah you’re right thankyou for the correction. I meant calcium carbonate!
'Carbon'. Hahahahahaha!
Jesus christ.
@@Aria432 are you being rude?
CaCO3 most certainly contains carbon my guy. Inorganic-organic composites are everywhere, including your bones, and blood. But to say blood is iron because it contains it is silly. The most apt thing to call the shells is oxygen if we're going by pure atomic abundance in the structure.
You're a chill and genuine dude. I can feel it. Great video man.
This video was extremely comforting to watch this morning, and also informative! Thanks for this!
You inspire me, I’ll for sure be listening to your knowledge more ❤ as a happy omnivore like yourself, I wish to, and always try to choose animal protein that’s sustainable for humans and our Mother Earth ❤ as a Finnish American, this video gave me nostalgia of my travels in my mother’s county and the Baltic Sea ❤ so much love for you from NY
I'll echo all the other comments about how soothing your calm demeanor is and the simple charm of the production. When I lived in thailand, one of the best dishes I would eat was at a southern thai style curry shop where they made an intense, spicy mussel curry. There's something so satisfying about the texture of mussels and they seem to be a good protein for intense flavors like that curry and more subtle preparations like you did here. Keep it up!
Good stuff. This is the kind of content the world needs. Thank you
This was the most calming video I have ever watched.
For me, this is content that we've all been missing. This is relaxing for me to watch!
I love this video omg. So calming and also educational. Really entertaining to watch
This was so comforting to watch, thank you!
I absolutely love this video. This just makes me think of when I was going and getting and enjoying mussels with my dear grandfather.
What an intelligent and pleasant fellow. Thank you.
Love this video format. Very honest and direct. Like talking to a buddy. Make more for other foods!
please continue making videos like these, Seth! I am honestly blown away by how informative yet entertaining it was to watch! I also love eating mussels, since I come from near the baltic and northern sea in the north of Germany!
Congrats on your honest, thoughtful production - great topic, too. Happy to watch more! Love from Down Under.
Love the sound of the waves in the background
Wow, this has been incredibly instructive and an excellent tutorial! Thanks mate.
omg you’re exactly what TH-cam needs more of! ❤️🌷
What a lovely comforting and calming video, hope you make some more!
This is a very awesome and insightful video!!! I live in coastal Maine USA and we are inundated with mussels all over the place so I am excited to look into foraging them. NOT at all a criticism, but a small tip from a washed-up chef who has fallen victim to many a knife: when you reach the middle point of an onion half that you are slicing, rotate it 180º. That way, if the knife is to slip (it will one day), the slope of the onion half guides the blade away from your fingers instead of towards :)
Thank you for educating us. Love your style too 💜
i was recommended this out of nowhere, and i love this video so much! it's so relaxing to listen to and i loved having it up while doing my work on the side. i really hope you post more!
