These were possibly the tastiest mussels I've ever eaten...and we cooked them ourselves.

A fine example of warning signs I'll actually pay attention to.

A large clam shell full of oysters and scallops. Yummmmm.

Off the beaten path just north of New Smyrna Beach is a spot where tiny crabs come out to play and you can watch an osprey with its catch fly by, or hear a fish jump out of the water. In the distance, is the top of the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse. It's a hidden treasure, and thousands of these tiny crabs dart into holes in the sand to escape predation AND cameras! Two of them hide in this pic- one with its little face showing, and one up top trying to hide in a hole!

Yum yum

at Ryan's Lobsters, near Peggy's Cove, Halifax, Nova Scotia. I have to explain that those paper plates are actually large platters. These are about 1.5 pounds, but 3 to 4 pounders are also available there.

These tiny shellfish were labeled as teppines, but I think they are actually called tellines.

At the Victor Hugo Market (Marché Victor Hugo) in Toulouse.

This was March 15, the day after Macron closed France. The streets were empty, but the market had some customers. The restaurants on the second floor of the Victor Hugo were closed.
