Wild New Zealand Mussels! Catch and Cook in Aotearoa 🇳🇿

Mussels everywhere! The abundance of delicious food is insane in New Zealand. This was my first time gathering and cooking mussels...and I got a bit of a surprise at the end :0
cheers,
Matty P

[@beverlyhillzchihuahua]

What a way to wake up on a snowy Easter morning. Good film Matthew thoroughly enjoyed it

[@EarthlyEats]

blessup!

[@iriapeene2373]

Hey Matty, great series, enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing.

[@zenzimakeba2248]

Irie Matty, you need to upload more episodes of Earthly Eats. Hopped over from Ras Kitchen to leave you dis message. I saw all of them already. 🌞

[@pushkill]

Dude, great content! This channel and your videography is top notch.

[@taylorhipperson1818]

Hey Matty, NZ local here.. next time you’re over this way, make sure you try the green lipped mussels. They’re just as tasty, but a lot bigger! Most of our mussels are accompanied by the pea crabs, just take them out! They’re harmless 😊 (I’ve even accidentally eaten a few on occasion lol) mussels are also delicious cooked on the bbq, and then filled with garlic butter once they start to open! I enjoyed the video too

[@EarthlyEats]

will do Taylor! bless up

[@alexf4378]

always accidentally eating the pea crabs. only realise when the mussel has a 'crunch' as you bite it lol.

[@hennyentertainment6872]

Why am i just now finding this channel greetings from miami florida matty p

[@mistymorning]

The pea crabs with the eggs are the best we used to fight over them as kids as we shelled our green lips after cooking . Nice work NZ is the land of plenty.

[@EarthlyEats]

baha no way!

[@bailtekey2213]

Hi Matt, funny ran into the same pea crab issue while eating an Oyster... supposedly it's a delicacy and is good luck if you find one. Great job on the video as usual

[@EarthlyEats]

thanks large....didn't eat them this time but will def try them another day

[@robertlussier2944]

[@remcovanvliet3018]

Pro tip for mussels: 2 pounds of washed fresh mussels 1/2 pound of butter 1/2 head of garlic 3 handfuls of fresh parsley, coursely cut 2 big onions, coursely cut Bottle of white wine Melt butter in skillet, glaze onions, add garlic, add mussels, herbs on top, good splash of wine, cover, stir periodically until all shells open. Enjoy! Serve with some crunchy crusted white bread for dipping in the sauce.

[@liumeizhi]

Hello from Malaysia! Love your Earthly Eats ep!!! Thanks for doing these vids. Learnt a lot from the tips, do and don't. 👍 btw, mee goreng is actually meant to be dry/fried type noodle. Mee=noodle & goreng=fry. So the powder is meant for dry stir instead of broth. Drains the noodle out after u boiled it, then mix it with the powder and u're done. Good try any way! Hope to see more of your vids in NZ!

[@EarthlyEats]

Next time will make Mee Goreng properly, bless up Meizhi ;)

[@APRIL1210]

you should do more videos like this... bless up dude!

[@mattparr3038]

Hey matty, next time you come to nz, checkout the far northern part of north island. Seafoods abundant and plenty locals who can point u right direction..

[@trevorreilly963]

The pea crab ehh? Never heard of it that's pretty cool thanks again Matt

[@EarthlyEats]

strange one! bless up T

[@redboneshoneypot2960]

Awesome episode Mathew.

[@ScoriacTears]

Your face when you clocked the crab though (Gulp) lol, great video Mathew.

[@EarthlyEats]

thanks large, bless up

[@SomeDude......]

Pretty cool Matt ya livin life great vids as usual

[@TheBeaker59]

Pea crabs are awesome we eat everyone we find if they are it berry (carrying eggs) they are even better I just deep fry them. If only we could faem those they would be a very popular dish in asia I think.

[@TASK_27]

Awesome video. Keep us posted.

[@missymason2377]

Awesome

[@shierocshieroc3735]

That crab was scary looking. Very nice episode. Thank you Matthew. #RasKitchen 👍

[@EarthlyEats]

thanks Shieroc ;)

[@danalynnolds1670]

Here's an easy recipe, a little wine or beer, garlic and a dash of lemon pepper. Mussels are one of my favorites. I can eat a whole pot.😀 Dana Dane from USA

[@retimixconcretepumpingltd3094]

Good stuff bro ,keen on some kiwi spliff talk?

[@mauricebrown9094]

Hope you get to try the green lipped while you there .

[@absolutelyfkncrazy3622]

Soo beautiful...love the dolphin footage

[@marklamberton541]

Hey mate if you go up north, crawl into a place called maketu. There are some greenlip mussels that grow there that are bigger than your hands. Taste great too. You will need to swim down 2 or 3 meters for them, but if you can't do that then newdicks beach there has some smaller green lips that are out of the water at low tide.

[@EarthlyEats]

cool thanks Mark, hope to be back some day

[@jonathanlee97]

Wtf you have more channels? Im hooked

[@tyronepower6492]

[@EarthlyEats]

[@driftwood5407]

Hi you get pea crabs in the UK

[@toamaori]

mate eat those crabs even raw.. they are deeeeelllliiiicccciiiioooouuuussss.... some people use them to flavour chowder... i just like them as they are.

[@rawenatasaunders4492]

A mean way to have them i get a half a block of garlic butter half a cup of water cook like that in a dish then when cooked dip them in sweet chilli

[@natalee3230]

Lol..the end!!..I wouldn't eat that I would throw the whole pot away😂

[@HaidarAinulHakim]

u use indomie goreng seasoning to cook them all..???

[@EarthlyEats]

enak lol

[@whereiswaldo5872]

Wah Gwaan Mathew?

[@lander783]

Were really spoiled here in New Zealand growing up in this country we avoided the black mussels and would only get the other mussels

[@absolutelyfkncrazy3622]

Ur too funny ❤️ the end 🦀

[@user-pwfus]

Before you cut your garlic use the side of your blade and crush the Garlic it gives the food a better taste bless up

[@chestercobblepot1421]

Holey heckka co , no poisoning going on here bo , 😂😂

[@elLocodelsubte]

hey matt

[@jeremyyeung2874]

I always wonder what fresh New Zealand Mussels taste like. The frozen ones from supermarket has no taste and texture is like rubber.

[@exoticspeedefy7916]

Those blue mussels aren't the tastiest mussels we get here and are rather small. Also common in Australia.. perhaps the most famous you might want to try is the New Zealand green shell mussel next time you're here they are the best!

[@serdavosseaworth6115]

Bro you need to get some jandals at least for walking on those rocks you can really do a number on feet walking on those rocks barefoot. Speaking from experience 😂🤙

[@kathycooney3819]

Jandals? Thongs or Sandals?

[@reemsalman5162]

😎 ✋ ✋

[@A_New_Yorker_Lost_In_Florida]

its like a little rasta "beard" on the mussels

[@harryhathaway1086]

New Zealand style muscles go better in a cream sauce and black mussels go better in a red Marinare sauce or white wine sauce Either way man they are dog licious. Sa-lurp sa-lurp

[@TequilaSunset_]

🔥🔥😊

[@treDay-s5v]

Try eating raw mussels with a lil bit of vinegar and lemon with a sprinkle of salt. Very juicy .

[@t-rexngatokorua8733]

I like mine freshly shelled raw, 2 in a slice of bread and that's it. If they've been in the fridge for a couple days, I'd add a fine slice of raw onion and a dot of oyster sauce per mussel. Or just lemon. Whatever is around lol but raw definitely beats cooking them imo. Takes all the unique taste away by cooking it.

[@TonyRule]

Funny. Come all the way to NZ and eat the same blue ones you can easily get in North America, not the exclusive-to-NZ green lipped variety.

[@meatavoreNana]

I'm 72 ,never eaten a black mussel. They are so small. The green lipped ones are bigger and delicious

[@adhikariindia]

New Zealand beautiful

Muscle here is very expensive in reastaurant.

[@ballistic350]

You probably need a license to harvest them I assume?

[@tailgateadventuresnz3442]

Jet Lee no licence needed to gather over here mate.

[@TonyRule]

No licence. But they come within the daily limits on quantity, which varies from area to area but those are very generous.

Niceee
