Steamed Mussel with Fried Garlic
Posted by Eric.N
I wanted some seafood but I was concerning about the recent seafood quality due to the Gulf oil spill. The BP oil spill incident has been more than a month without great solution to stop it. It is now becoming the largest oil spill in the history. I am not sure how much it has affects on the consumer’s seafood choices, but with up to 5 thousand gallons of oil spill a day this is seriously contaminating the ocean and killing the sea life.
During this time, I would highly recommend consumers to do some research and study before consuming seafood. The high levels of mercury and PCB in mussels from the Gulf of Maine are a concern. So for safe I bought the easy frozen farm raised mussels over the fresh ones. Selecting the farm raised mussels is also an environmentally friendly seafood choice. Remember to eat healthy!
