I brought home with me one blue mussel – 12 cm long – and cooked it in boiling water for 3 minutes.

This is the largest mussel I have ever eaten – possibly the largest mussel in the world , it was really delicious.

There are also thousands of sea urchins but I have no experience in eating those.

I collected about 30kg worth of mussels and cooked myself a big mussel dinner with garlic bread.

Birta, the queen of Otradalur loves cooked mussels, but does not show any enthusiasm for raw mussels, even if I opened one for her.

The last big mussel has a small surprise, two tiny pearls – photos of the first one can be seen below.
