Harvesting delicious local mussels
We’ve been taking advantage of a free food source just outside Gold Beach by harvesting mussels off the sea stacks that uncover at low tide. John Silveira and I had a great time harvesting our allotted 72 mussels each per day yesterday, then we steamed and ate them like clams after John made a delicious curry/apple juice dip.
The dip was a copy of that served at Barnacle Bistro, one of Gold Beach’s newest and best small restaurants. I have a mussel lunch there about twice a week.

Lucky you, those look mighty tasty!

I am so jealous!
That is one of the main things I miss about not living in the Coos Bay/ Charleston area anymore, all the fresh fish and shellfish, especially the Dungenouess crab.

I just see them in a nice Marinara sauce. Now I am hungry. Miss living on the coast.
