Believe it or not, but Kiel truly felt like foodie wonderland to me. So when I heard we will get the chance to harvest mussels from an environmentally sustainable farm called oceanBasis, I was literally the first one who jumped into those ridiculously looking orange suits, ready to earn those freshwater ‘Kieler Förde Mussels’.
It was the perfect day for this experience and I was fascinated to learn more about mussels.

Did you guys know that mussels who are freshly harvested are not foul when they're cooked but still closed? Mostly the internal muscles are just too strong. More than that you can eat them all year long! Good news, huh?
When we got back to our lovely accommodation, Hotel Birke served us what we just earned. All that made them taste even more delicious. Slow Food, organic, good, clean and local. Simply the most excellent way to eat seafood. Thank you Hotel Birke for this kick ass program, it was such a highlight! And there is so much more to say about oceanBasis, guess I will do that tomorrow, okay probably not tomorrow but soon!
