What the creator captured
Eater explored the high-tech operations of Bangs Island Mussels in Maine to see how they turn a low-margin product into a sustainable business. The host was particularly impressed by the 'mussel sausage' seeding process and the efficiency of the specialized harvesting machinery. After tasting a raw mussel straight from the water, he described it as a richer, creamier, and more briny version of an oyster.
