Shoppers' Guide to Local Shellfish - What to Buy and What to Skip

A shopper's guide to the shellfish case - what to buy, what to skip, and why the cheapest option is usually the most expensive mistake you can make. I am Randy Vogel. I have been buying and cooking shellfish in Wisconsin for thirty years, and I have thrown away more bad mussels and overcooked scallops than most people will ever buy. This video walks you through exactly what to grab at the seafood counter and what to walk away from. In this video, I cover: • Mussels - the two-dollar bargain that beats lobster • Clams - which to buy, which to skip, and why • Oysters - what the case won't tell you • Scallops - the wet vs dry trick that costs you double • Crab and lobster - when frozen beats fresh #shellfish #seafood #buyingguide #mussels #clams #oysters #scallops #seafoodcounter #groceryshopping #randyvogel
