      People are so judgemental. If they would pay attention they would see you wife is giving information that could save them from being very ill. I didn't know that if you cook the mussels and they don't open, they are bad! The way she speaks is so relaxing to me. Thank you for your appreciation to my comments. You and your wife are OK 👌 with me.
      P S. I am disabled, cause I had a stroke and sometimes things are very difficult to understand. So I appreciate you and your wife making this understandable to me.
      I love watching you, this is so interesting, and not being a seafood lover is what I'm amazed with! Please continue to have your wife do her thing. And she is so pretty. You both make a beautiful couple!

    Thank You for reminding me what it is like to enjoy the fresh food on the beach. I used to live in the north of California USA and back then (40 years ago) I used to do very much the same thing that you show right here. Anyone that is watching this series I can tell you from personal experience that this is not a staged video, what you see is exactly what you will find! I moved to the southern United States (Florida on the Gulf Coast) and kind of (for lack of a better word) out grew the hunting. Thank You again for reminding me what it is like to beach hunt. We have such lovely beaches here on the Gulf Coast away for the tourists, I guess you could say that you re-awoke me and now I have decided it is time to quit paying for some "farm" to raise this food and go back out and enjoy the beaches and the FREE MEALS that the seas provide us every day. Thank You once again for opening my eyes to what I out grew and missed, Have a GREAT 2020 and keep sharing your videos with the world.
