Neighbor delivery! Literally doesn’t get fresher than this.

​Living by the beach means the snacks look a little different. Our neighbor just dropped off these freshly caught sea urchins, and I’m adding a little heat to mine.
​Some people call it "ocean butter," others can’t stand the texture. I’m definitely in the "Love It" camp!

​What about you? Is fresh Uni a big YES or a HARD PASS? Let me know below! 👇

How to Cook Fresh Green Mussels (Tahong) Over a Wood Fire
​Cooking fresh green mussels (tahong) over an open wood fire is a highly effective, traditional method that yields a naturally smoky broth and tender meat. The intense, direct heat of a wood fire ensures the seafood cooks rapidly without becoming rubbery.
​Key Steps for Open-Flame Mussels:
1. ​Prepare the Heat: Use a wide, shallow pan directly over the wood fire to maximize surface area and heat distribution.
2. ​Infuse Aromatics: Sauté your base ingredients (like ginger, garlic, and onions) to release their essential oils before adding the fresh seafood.
3. ​The Steam & Smoke Method: Allow the natural juices of the tahong to create a steaming broth. The open flame allows the wood smoke to naturally infuse into the liquid.
4. ​Watch for the Pop: The mussels are perfectly cooked the exact moment their shells open wide. Remove them from the heat immediately to prevent overcooking.
