12km run along the seafront promenade yesterday. New Leigh Dyer ‘mussels’ sculpture en route. Saw wreck of ‘The Amsterdam’ and the Bronze Age forest at super low tide, fully exposed. Went back today to see if tide permitted a second view (which was partially successful; photos later).

I was in Florida visiting my parents last week and we had an appetizer called "Mussels En Crosta" at Lynnora's. It was so good, we decided to give it a try ourselves.
