In the Netherlands we typically use the shell we pull off to scoop out the mussel in the other half of the shell, Nature provides the tool for the job :-)

Another mussel shell is a good tool from removing a mussel from its shell.

Use simply the mussel shell to take the mussel out ! Like a plier !

This looks delicious! I wonder if using a different shell fish would work as well? Like oysters or clam or even shrimp. muscles are the only shell fish I don’t like. To fishy. Lol

For a professional chef, she's incredibly unfamiliar with mussels. 😕 First, you don't "tap" mussels to make sure that they're alive—you'll end up throwing away perfectly good mussels. Cook them for 5-6 minutes. If any don't open—they're dead—NOW you throw them away. Additionally, the best mussels are aquacultured from Prince Edward Island (Canada) and don't have beards. Use a whole, hinged mussel shell to remove mussel meat to avoid mutilating by scraping with a spoon or "hands." 😮

Can we get someone here with a speaking voice that doesn’t sound like it was produced by 9 year old?

[SaposJoint]

Do y'all do videos aimed at adults? Shit, I didn't think so. Why all the upspeak? Just go over the ingredients, show the prep and cook, and be done with the cutesy crap.
Unsubbed. I can find better recipes on paper.
