Hi gang, it's good to be back...
We went to the beach on the Fourth and collected mussels

Oops, wrong picture
This is more like it: low tide at Seal Rock.


Here's the old salt collecting some goodies

After steaming and removing from their shells, a very quick brine soak and than oiled. We collect the limit: 144 mussels. There are two racks here

As much of an 'action' there is

and finished


They were on for about 40 minutes, smoke provided by peach. I used about a third of a chimney of KB, temp at the lid was running about 225 - 250. How did they turn out? A-Maze-ing! I plan on doing this every time we get to the coast. I can even see trips for special occasions: Thanksgiving, birthdays. We live about an 1 1/2 hour drive from where these were collected. I've collected and steamed them before, this was the first time smoking them. Most of these went to a 5th of July party we went to last night, I'm freezing the balance (after eating them like candy for two days now)! Thanks for stopping by.
