On Sunday we went and collected some mussels from Otanerito bay near Akaroa. The limit is 50 per person- but it only takes about 10 minutes to get that many! There are New Zealand Green Lipped mussels (endemic to New Zealand) and Blue mussels. The Green Lipped mussels supposedly taste better, but there are far fewer of them (and the blue and the green all live together). I couldn't personally taste any difference. We steamed them and put a garlic butter sauce on them!
NICE!!!!!---Sounds like a great meal!!! Looks like Spring has sprung in New Zealand.
ReplyDeleteyes- definitely warmer! It is great- everyone is a bit happier to not be stuck in their cold houses!
