Pan Fried MUSSELS | Bart van Olphen

To celebrate the opening of the Dutch mussels season and the launch of our own Zeker Zeeuws mussels, I am making my take on a great recipe from Zeeland, pan fried mussels in garlic butter! These mussels are from the Oosterschelde and are 100% from Zeeland and grown in those waters. Enjoy!

I'd lightly grill/toast the bread and give it a light slather of aioli mixed with a reduction of the mussel juices from the steaming before piling on the pan fired mussels. That will ensure that the bread also has some nice flavors to it. Loved the simple recipe. Will definitely give it a try soon. Thanks Bart.

* grill/toast = grill OR toast

[@garydaniels1341]

When I was a bartender during college, I always wondered what Pernod was used for. Now I know...nothing, "not this time." lol

[@JorinT-u6y]

That looks so good thank you for telling us what to look for for not overcooking them.

[@ktng4]

Hi Bart, this is amazing video...can I know how many minutes to fry the mussels on medium heat after butter knob? and on medium low heat?

[@Pendulunis]

toast the bread, add a layer of mayo on it and sprinkle some lemon juice on top of the mussels :)

[@markrampersad6828]

that looks so good

[@dwaynewladyka577]

A great looking dish. There is no such thing as too much garlic in my opinion.

[@slimbullet96]

Any chance we will get a guest appearance from Juul anytime soon? ☺

[@AquaFurs]

Fabulous! Thanks.

[@PangBard]

[@nitaf71]

[@yaz2928]

Nita F I ate them

[@AntoniusTyas]

Damn I wish I can find good fresh mussels here in my hometown. It's so hard to find....

[@ThisIsMyFullName]

Great recipe, never thought of using mussels fried in garlic butter. Will have to try that. Please get a bread knife btw! It's painful watching someone cut bread with a chef's knife.

[@wwsuwannee7993]

Superb.

[@nataliami1777]

WOW!!!!!!

[@deepchatterjee5123]

Nice uncle ji

[@bcgmktg]

[@gulsumdg]

canım come to Turkey and try 'midye tava'

[@antoinedoinell]

That wasn't that much garlic...😁

[@enzoma7253]

I can eat a kilo of that! haha!

[@nitaf71]

Is that brand found in the USA?

[@Bartsfishtales]

Unfortunately not!

[@MbisonBalrog]

May as well eat from pot and then give bread on side to mop up sauce

[@ThatGuy-hc2ei]

"..with a glass of wine or maybe two to do it together with your kids" What?

[@ThatGuy-hc2ei]

That's not what he said.

[@oolala17]

@that guy kids in France drink wine with meals, maybe the same in the Netherlands

[@Ethelgiggle]

That Guy I think thats what he meant tough. His sentences are not always 100% clean, as it's not his native language

[@Pinksugarelephant]

That Guy take a chill pill

[@ThatGuy-hc2ei]

What's your definition of a chill pill?

[@Trad3st0rm]

that looks more like cilantro

[@Bartsfishtales]

I used flat leaf parsley, it does look like coriander.

[@Trad3st0rm]

but parsley leaves have sharp tips

[@tombombadillo1]

There's two main types, a quick google should give you images of both the curly and flat leaf parsley. They both taste the same imo

[@ThisIsMyFullName]

Hayden Miscat There is a difference in flavour between the two. Curly parsley have more of a peppery taste, while flat leaf parsley is more delicate. So curly parsley is great for sauces and pot dishes, where you often need a stronger flavour, while flat leaf parsley is great for fish or pasta dishes. Curly parsley on a dish like this would most likely taste too powerful.

[@FoodstonedMpls]

Bart, what the hell?! Why would you use those wild caught dredged muscles?! I don't know if you watched the video you inserted into your own video here, but all that bycatch is horrifying! Why wouldn't you just use sustainably farm raised mussels instead? You also talk sustainable seafood and farmed mussels are absolutely one of the most sustainable seafood items on the market. This broke my heart a little bit as a former sustainable seafood educator and fish cookbook author...

[@Bartsfishtales]

FoodStoned FoodStoned FoodStoned Hi! Actually the mussels I used are farmed. In The Netherlands we have two types of mussel farming, some are rope grown and some are bottom grown. The ones I used are bottom grown. The mussels are grown on these "mussel plots" in the Oosterschelde where the fishermen first harvest mussel seed out of wild, then let them grow big enough before spreading them on one of their mussel plots. These plots are long strips of sea bed where the mussels are laying. They are very well managed, the fishermen know on almost centimeters exact where their mussels are. Once the mussels are big enough, they scoop them up with these nets. The sea bed is not damaged because there are only mussels there. This way of growing mussels is really sustainable and therefore certified by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC). The only bycatch that you are pointing out are sea stars who regenerate. I should have explained better that these mussels are farmed. Hope this explains! Please have a look at the MSC page for more specific info: fisheries.msc.org/en/fisheries/netherlands-blue-shell-mussel/@@view

[@FoodstonedMpls]

Bart's Fish Tales I definitely appreciate the explanation. I've never heard of that type of mussel farming and in the video with all the seaweed and sea stars, it looks like it's destroying the sea bed. Glad to know that's not the case.

[@FoodstonedMpls]

Also, if you're interested, I just published a book of fresh water lake Fish recipes as a way of potentially looking to other sources of fish to help supplement ocean catches. Since lake fish aren't something typically available on the commercial scale here in the U.S. I tried to come up with some ideas as to how we might approach this underused resource in the future. www.mnhs.org/mnhspress/books/lake-fish
