I've been buying and cooking mussels at home for 40 years. The industry has come a long way since the early days of farm raised. Now they are always very clean, hardly ever have beards and I can go a few batches before I find a dead one or some other defect. The flavor is always outstanding !! Big thanks to all those workers for delivering such a great product, you make seafood lovers like me very happy ! Thank You !!
Mussels are easily the most underrated shellfish. Give me a nice pot of mussels cooked in a garlic butter broth with some crusty bread and some fries and I'm in heaven. Those mussels looked wonderful.
Someone give that interviewee a raise. Enthusiastic and passionate without overdoing it or seeming fake. Some very good responses to some difficult questions
@@bobbyj1917 Thats why its so expensive, since they know that people wont buy in bulk to due to the sheer amount that you get. But if you buy it straight from the source it will be much cheaper.
It's awesome that something so mundane can be so interesting at the same time. These guys do this day in and day out, but these types of videos give us something to think about when we actually purchase the final product. The grocery store has become way more interesting to me over the past decade.
I've never seen mussels so big, they look delicious. i'm from belgium and we love mussels. it is considered the national dish of Belgium mussels with fries
They didn't look that big to me. Here in NZ we have the green lipped mussel (as well as the blue seen in this video although I haven't seen those for sale) and they're mostly larger than these.
*Recipe Time* Start off by dicing some shallots and red bell pepper, get it dancing in a wok with a little peanut oil. Soon as they start to soften, drop in a fistful of butter, a painful amount of garlic, a cup of white wine and then dump the mussels on top. Cover the wok with a lid/pan/cooking sheet so they can steam up. Give them at least 4 minutes, but not much more, and pop the lid off to make sure they're all opening. If needed, rotate a few unopened down into the boiling liquid and give them another 2 mins. Scoop em into a bowl (throwing out any that didn't open) and then pour the delicious mussel-garlic-wine juice over the top. Enjoy!
Both the interviewer and interviewee had a great dynamic, I watched the entire thing and even sprouted some inspiration to give muscles a try, help out their market and cook something new while I'm at it
Even though I'm west coast Puget sound mussel biased this was a great episode outlining a under enjoyed shellfish and a company that is rocking it in harvest, production, packaging, branding and marketing.
I love even the idea of mussels as a food itself. There's so much it's doing in the water and out of it that humanity can't ignore. And you don't even have to force people to eat them. They're delicious and full of protein. In some dishes, its soup is amazing.
This is so satisfying to watch and to really appreciate my love of mussels after watching the love and care these guys are putting into what they are doing.. I appreciate you guys so much!
We at *Messy Times* consume a huge volume of shellfish every year, and make pots of mussels in butter, shallots, garlic and (usually French or Italian) white wine. These guys make me want to go visit them in Maine!
I don't eat mussels and in fact hate seafood in general but it's videos like this that really make me wish I did just so I could buy it from these guys.
I love some mussels steamed with garlic butter, hot sauce, and crusty French bread. Our local seafood shop gets them from time to time and emails me when some are coming in. Very lucky to have this service as I now live far from the coast.
Thank you guys for posting these videos! Half of this I didn’t even know how they did it!!!! I DO live in Maine, but I’ve never seen these mussels floats! This REALLY makes me happy!
I have been a huge fan of moules ("mool") since I was a kid growing up in coastal northwestern France. steamed in white wine and served in garlic butter with pommes frites ... just too yummy for words. and don't forget the hearty bread to soak up the gravy! they make for amazing stew, as well. bon appetit!
Man, what a lot of effort to produce edible mussels or cozze as they are called here in Italy. We eat them every week at the beach. And very inexpensive. 10 euros for a big plate of them. Hard to believe they can be so inexpensive with all the work involved.
NZ mussels are actually extremely common in USA. Domestic mussels (which can be bought live) are more flavorful, but smaller. The NZ ones are much milder, but have a great texture and size, not to mention super convenient since they’re sold precooked and cleaned.
Traditional Spanish recipe for cooking mussels : Washed mussels Big pan + lid 3-4 tsp olive oil in the pan Garlic, fry in oil Ad Mussels and cover with lid Explanation : the Mussels in contact with the hot oil, die instantly, are opening up releasing a bit of seawater...

Longer cooking makes the Mussels tough. options: Ad Tomatos diced Big Union diced Sellerie Carot slices White wine Delicious!!
Lol, we do this the same in New Zealand but expect how we hold them in the water with the lines. Also these breed of mussels are usually thowen away, we only farm green lips
We (NZ) do use the sock to hold them on the rope but the density of mussel per meter is regulated to promote growth. I dont know if they control density on the farm in this video.
Keep this guy, I like this guy's present although a bit awkward in one but nonetheless, he makes the video more entertaining and somewhat engaging too. Keep the work
Mussels and fries is a very popular café food here in Denmark or cooked with onions cream and other spices and veggies with a bread on the side, sea all around us so plenty of fish dishes.
Its great seeing how other countries and other species of mussels work. In NZ we have green lip mussels and theyre about 4x as big for harvest size judging by your handfull. theyre also grown on a massive scale where the farms cover acres of water area and are ropes and floats, not rafts. everything is on a much much bigger scale. cool vid
When I was a kid, back in the late '50s, we used to visit Atlantic City. There were jetties that were packed solid with monster mussels. I am not sure if they were safe to eat due to water quality issues, but for years I would not order them in a restaurant. Then, I tried some at a famous mussel joint and fell in love with them. Whenever I visit Maine I can't get enough of them ... together with lobster.
A glass good whitewine, one onion, 1 garlic and mussels. The mussels steam in the wine. Eat with good baguette. And after the mussels you eat the Rest as a soup. Heaven! And these guys are great. So much work for a Product. amazing. Thanks for your effort!
We need more mussels farms. It cleans the water and its a tasty renewable source of protein. It doesnt produce any greenhouse gasses, you also dont need to fertilize or feed the mussels. And overal it has a lower carbon food print then a purely vegiterian diet we als humans. Under utilize the ocean to little even though most of the planet is oceans and sea we mostly only grab fish and thats it but things like here mussels that we can grow and we can also grow edible seaweed thats full of minerals and other nutrients.
@Ryker of course there are, depending on areas and tide, toxic algae can build up in filter feeders such as oysters and mussels which is why there are seasons to collect them. Farmed mussels are obviously much safer since there are staff looking after the mussels and tests to be done to make sure the product is up to legal spec before distribution. Otherwise people with thyroid issues and certain allergies cannot eat mussels
A brother of a friend of mine opened a little shack on the beach near Carlsbad CA. I visited my friend a day he was working at the shack and the special of the day was locally farmed mussels. So I went for it and they were fantastic! Garlic, butter, mussels with some crusty French bread overlooking the ocean. A very memorable day indeed.
Mussels are great. My grandmother used to make cioppino with mussels, clams, and scallops. It was my favorite thing she ever made and my favorite of all the shellfish in the soup was the mussel. They are tender but not too much, they have a nice little chew, not evenly fishy, very clean tasting. I’ll take them over an oyster any day.
The industriousness and innovation that you have seen here; that is what makes America great. This is real business and free market capitalism here not the corrupt, corporate, kleptocratic, casino capitalism that we see from the Banksters on Wall Street.
This interviewer seems like a totally different person than the vertical farm. In that episode he was awkward and stupid. Now he’s actually contributing to the video.
Dan really looked like he was enjoying himself. I’m a veggie, but really appreciate the artwork that goes in to feed people and let’s face it, mussels are generally a low impact food; they sit there, filter and grow.
I'm vegan and will still eat mussels! I can't see any ethical/environmental reasons to not eat them - they don't have a central nervous system so have no capacity to suffer and they way they are farmed actively cleans the water and requires no feed.
Mussels filter the sea water between their shells and accumulate viral, bacterial, and parasitic pathogens in their tissues. 1 Microsporidium spp. and hepatitis A virus (HAV) and norovirus (NoV) are among the most important food-borne pathogens that can be transmitted to humans through consumption of mussels.
@@yoman856 It's not the filtering of the water that makes you sick. It's the consumption of food that has expired and gone bad. If eating raw seafood it must be eaten within half a day, over night if refrigerated.
This is so cool! I’m sure day in day out it might be monotonous but getting to see the process is pretty neat :D I’m not a fan of mussels myself but my sister is so I’m sure she would love to see this c:
Well in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking at this matter in a different way and without fighting and by trying to make it clear, and by considering each and everyone's opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say.
Hi this is Abhijeet Deshpande and they shod during seeding should timestamp the ropes and categorise every one of the seeding rope lines on seeding and harvesting dates. They should increase the number of bins like containers and every one of seeding liners segregated on the basis of seeding and harvesting date, week fortnight month quarter six months to one year This will ensure differentiation in as well as customized production of mussels growing to large sizes as special category small medium to large, including customized large volume and mass... Like matured liqueurs... Seggreation should also be categorised separately as seeding and harvesting as harvesting young mussels or adult or older ones, including their sizes. Harvesting by date, size, volumes differentiated....😌
Things don’t grow at perfect rates. Thats why they have sorting systems. They also are clearly keeping track generally, they have multiple platforms and seem like they’re rotating through them.
@@ngregoirenc Hi NG, This is Abhijeet Deshpande and.... Yes, things don't grow at perfect rates. Which if you recall my post to which you have replied Now, Points: 1.) I have had asked for creation of segregated bins like retractable enclosures for the segregated and timestaped seeding lines 2.) These at regular intervals would enclose the seeding lines from the sea. 3.) Now, just like land based crops, these would be fertilized by infusion of supplementary nutrients, like fertilizers and compost, not these, but water based nutrients upon which these mussels will feed and filter. 4.) Just like humans animals and plants and crops on land additional nutrients provide for an higher growth rate than normal ones. 5.) These specialized nutrients can be developed by association with scientific research and development institutions. 6.) The segregation timestaped seeding lines just like production assembly lines can be then enlarged to create acreage in the sea 7.) This acre based sea farming can be then classified and categorised into sowing, harvesting and yeilds as well as speciality supplemented and augmented nutrients rich sea crops. 8.) These fishermen can then be classified and categorised into farming and allied occupations called as pisciculture or aquaculture farming occupations. 9.) Thus equating farming occupations to equitable levels. 10.) This point is only towards forming of policies and plans by the respective national governments 11.) Now, the growth and development of mussels could be timestaped and modulated and regulated with the infusion of supplementary nutrients, in specific quantities,for the sea farming seeding lines or bins categorised and expansion of surface area into acreage. 12.) Another point to note is that within the water sea or ocean boundaries of nations these sea surface areas can also be leased or rented,not sold specifically due to many reasons, to these farmers like occupation ownership of sea areas for farming. 13.) As such incrementally increasing the revenue for the respective governments from these occupations, both in direct and indirect and other taxations. 14.) Just like land based ownership, these sea farming areas would also be given a sea record of their acreage ownership with latitude and longitude coordinates along with s top skyview coloured map highlighting their ownership areas. 15.) Now to come back to the growth of mussels, of point no. 11, the growth rates of mussels, from seeding to required maturity can be researched and analysed in and with specific regulated laboratory methods of infusion of supplementary nutrients, in modulated and regulated mechanism to monitor their gowth process. 16.) And as such like land based crops, including modified plantation, these can be developed classified and categorised nto potential high growth rate sea crops. This and above are many more such like are my conceptualizations, as sea and ocean water food resource based Inland Water Resource Farming, Which I have also regularly been proposing to every government of every country, worldwide, But rather sadly has not been initiated and been neglected by any and every one till date.
@@ngregoirenc including the info as the link from your own profile of segregated and influenced controlled growth of plants th-cam.com/video/gW-21CHDkIU/w-d-xo.html 1.) Secondly these bins can be turned into floating devices by ballast tanks 2.) The bins retractable closure top bottom and sides in Including the seeding harvesting reseeding and regulated and modulated infusion of supplementary nutrients can be done by automated AI RC AVCC systems from land or sea 3.) Thirdly, the bottom of the sown enclosure bin could be fitted with fan or propellers 4.) This would ensure that the nutrients that would eventually settle on the bottom of the bin would be churned and thrown back towards the top like a mixer, as such the mussels would feed or filter the same repeatedly. 5.) Now this entire mechanism could be powered by miniature wind and underwater yet water surface propeller turbines, including floatation systems having solar panels. 6.) These would generate the necessary electricity power and energy for powering the entire mechanisms, without human intervention, cutting wasteful consumption of costs and resources.... 7.) And to super exponentially increase seeding and growth and yeild and harvesting in massive numbers 8.) Instead of ropes they can use box mesh filled with nutrients, which the mussels can grow their beards / roots into. 9.) These mussels can the be loaded into their socks and pulled onto the box mesh. 10.) Like plants grown with soil bricks on walls with box meshes. 11.) These concepts of mine can also be used for other water resources farming like scallops, fish lobsters shrimp prawns, etc. 12.) Reducing load on deepwater fishing, thus replenishing the seas and oceans with all the species 13.) Another point to note is that these seeding lines or box mesh installed on parallel beams could also be made retractable like a pulley lift, pulling every seeding line or rope or box mesh either individually or In customized preferences out of the water then lowering them once again. 14.) The seeding ropes lines or box mesh installed on the beams would work like honey harvesting of bees. 🐝 Like honey comb plates.... Simple solutions to complex problems .... Reducing food scarcity all around the world, instantaneously War Out😌🤘 😎👍
Interesting...I've seen the South Koreans mussel farms using old tires on the same ropes for the mussels to attach. Also, try blending steamed mussels with mayonnaise - it's nuts how good it is!

@Robert Smith for mussels being produced at that scale, it's pretty big

Well size doesnt mean a thing tho
They didn't look that big to me. Here in NZ we have the green lipped mussel (as well as the blue seen in this video although I haven't seen those for sale) and they're mostly larger than these.
I don't like Belgians
the mussels in belgium were nice when i studied abroad there a couple years ago
*Recipe Time*
Start off by dicing some shallots and red bell pepper, get it dancing in a wok with a little peanut oil.

Right! Only Penn Cove Mussels for me. Pretty cool to see all the equipment.
I love death can for cutie!
I think it's pretty amazing that all that machinery is able to do all that declumping, cleaning, etc. without breaking the mussels
I thought the same thing
As long as you're not mechanically squeezing them, they're pretty robust - the shell is curved both sides and reasonably tough, not too brittle.
The interviewer seems like a very nice guy, very respectful. Great vid guys

After the initial set up costs I can imagine it is cheaper and more efficient to farm compared to manual gathering or however they do it there
That's the beauty of mixing Capital and labour. The increase in production is exponential.

I’m a veggie, but really appreciate the artwork that goes in to feed people and let’s face it, mussels are generally a low impact food; they sit there, filter and grow.
I'm vegan and will still eat mussels! I can't see any ethical/environmental reasons to not eat them - they don't have a central nervous system so have no capacity to suffer and they way they are farmed actively cleans the water and requires no feed.
Very informative, I didn't know you could eat mussels raw.
You can eat nearly all seafood raw
Mussels filter the sea water between their shells and accumulate viral, bacterial, and parasitic pathogens in their tissues. 1 Microsporidium spp. and hepatitis A virus (HAV) and norovirus (NoV) are among the most important food-borne pathogens that can be transmitted to humans through consumption of mussels.

It's not the filtering of the water that makes you sick. It's the consumption of food that has expired and gone bad. If eating raw seafood it must be eaten within half a day, over night if refrigerated.
@@mrtnite9780 i see you're smarter than google

A great tour conducted by a committed passionate guy. Great
7:00 cracked me up. he already ate one after asking if we can eat them lol
I’m a service residential plumber and my job can get dirty at times, but holy hell, these people have a very dirty job. I respect them
In my area we use bamboo poles. Diving underwater, the mussel laden bamboo poles together look like underwater castles.
Your videos are the best
""super High Tech Machinnery""" LMFAO.
Two Engines Turning Around Is Super Tech Machinery For This Channel ;D
I think they meant more that it’s super specialized to what they’re doing, not many other uses for a mussel sorting machine.
Fantastic. Thanks. Love mussels. When I was a kid they were considered junk. No ornate them. Now everyone eats them.
This is so cool! I’m sure day in day out it might be monotonous but getting to see the process is pretty neat :D I’m not a fan of mussels myself but my sister is so I’m sure she would love to see this c:
Well in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking at this matter in a different way and without fighting and by trying to make it clear, and by considering each and everyone's opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say.
Mussels are hella underrated. I could finish a big ass bowl full of mussels myself. Love it ever since my mom cooked it for me.
What has your ass got to do with mussels?
Hi this is Abhijeet Deshpande and they shod during seeding should timestamp the ropes and categorise every one of the seeding rope lines on seeding and harvesting dates.
They should increase the number of bins like containers and every one of seeding liners segregated on the basis of seeding and harvesting date, week fortnight month quarter six months to one year
This will ensure differentiation in as well as customized production of mussels growing to large sizes as special category small medium to large, including customized large volume and mass...
Like matured liqueurs...
Seggreation should also be categorised separately as seeding and harvesting as harvesting young mussels or adult or older ones, including their sizes.
Harvesting by date, size, volumes differentiated....😌
Things don’t grow at perfect rates. Thats why they have sorting systems. They also are clearly keeping track generally, they have multiple platforms and seem like they’re rotating through them.
@@ngregoirenc Hi NG,
This is Abhijeet Deshpande and....
Yes,
things don't grow at perfect rates.
Which if you recall my post to which you have replied
Now,
Points:
1.) I have had asked for creation of segregated bins like retractable enclosures for the segregated and timestaped seeding lines
2.) These at regular intervals would enclose the seeding lines from the sea.
3.) Now, just like land based crops, these would be fertilized by infusion of supplementary nutrients, like fertilizers and compost, not these, but water based nutrients upon which these mussels will feed and filter.
4.) Just like humans animals and plants and crops on land additional nutrients provide for an higher growth rate than normal ones.
5.) These specialized nutrients can be developed by association with scientific research and development institutions.
6.) The segregation timestaped seeding lines just like production assembly lines can be then enlarged to create acreage in the sea
7.) This acre based sea farming can be then classified and categorised into sowing, harvesting and yeilds as well as speciality supplemented and augmented nutrients rich sea crops.
8.) These fishermen can then be classified and categorised into farming and allied occupations called as pisciculture or aquaculture farming occupations.
9.) Thus equating farming occupations to equitable levels.
10.) This point is only towards forming of policies and plans by the respective national governments
11.) Now, the growth and development of mussels could be timestaped and modulated and regulated with the infusion of supplementary nutrients, in specific quantities,for the sea farming seeding lines or bins categorised and expansion of surface area into acreage.
12.) Another point to note is that within the water sea or ocean boundaries of nations these sea surface areas can also be leased or rented,not sold specifically due to many reasons, to these farmers like occupation ownership of sea areas for farming.
13.) As such incrementally increasing the revenue for the respective governments from these occupations, both in direct and indirect and other taxations.
14.) Just like land based ownership, these sea farming areas would also be given a sea record of their acreage ownership with latitude and longitude coordinates along with s top skyview coloured map highlighting their ownership areas.
15.) Now to come back to the growth of mussels, of point no. 11, the growth rates of mussels, from seeding to required maturity can be researched and analysed in and with specific regulated laboratory methods of infusion of supplementary nutrients, in modulated and regulated mechanism to monitor their gowth process.
16.) And as such like land based crops, including modified plantation, these can be developed classified and categorised nto potential high growth rate sea crops.
This and above are many more such like are my conceptualizations, as sea and ocean water food resource based Inland Water Resource Farming,
Which I have also regularly been proposing to every government of every country, worldwide,
But rather sadly has not been initiated and been neglected by any and every one till date.
@@ngregoirenc including the info as the link from your own profile of segregated and influenced controlled growth of plants

1.) Secondly these bins can be turned into floating devices by ballast tanks
2.) The bins retractable closure top bottom and sides in Including the seeding harvesting reseeding and regulated and modulated infusion of supplementary nutrients can be done by automated AI RC AVCC systems from land or sea
3.) Thirdly, the bottom of the sown enclosure bin could be fitted with fan or propellers
4.) This would ensure that the nutrients that would eventually settle on the bottom of the bin would be churned and thrown back towards the top like a mixer, as such the mussels would feed or filter the same repeatedly.
5.) Now this entire mechanism could be powered by miniature wind and underwater yet water surface propeller turbines, including floatation systems having solar panels.
6.) These would generate the necessary electricity power and energy for powering the entire mechanisms, without human intervention, cutting wasteful consumption of costs and resources....
7.) And to super exponentially increase seeding and growth and yeild and harvesting in massive numbers
8.) Instead of ropes they can use box mesh filled with nutrients, which the mussels can grow their beards / roots into.
9.) These mussels can the be loaded into their socks and pulled onto the box mesh.
10.) Like plants grown with soil bricks on walls with box meshes.
11.) These concepts of mine can also be used for other water resources farming like scallops, fish lobsters shrimp prawns, etc.
12.) Reducing load on deepwater fishing, thus replenishing the seas and oceans with all the species
13.) Another point to note is that these seeding lines or box mesh installed on parallel beams could also be made retractable like a pulley lift, pulling every seeding line or rope or box mesh either individually or
In customized preferences out of the water then lowering them once again.
14.) The seeding ropes lines or box mesh installed on the beams would work like honey harvesting of bees. 🐝
Like honey comb plates....
Simple solutions to complex problems ....
Reducing food scarcity all around the world, instantaneously
War Out😌🤘
😎👍
Interesting...I've seen the South Koreans mussel farms using old tires on the same ropes for the mussels to attach. Also, try blending steamed mussels with mayonnaise - it's nuts how good it is!
Yes
TH-cam just randomly recommended this to me and Im actually glad and learning!
Incredible video, great job of including interesting knowledge!!!
