This looks scrumptious. Maybe these difficulties will mean that some of the most desirable fish will get a rest, though it's hard to imagine that there will ever be a price high enough to keep people from eating lobster or scallops or halibut. As for mussels, they are much scarcer here in the U. S, than they used to be -- on their way to becoming a new luxury item. I remember a trip to Scotland in 1973 when I rented a cottage on the sea, and I could gather a bushel of mussels without moving more than three steps.
I remember similar, on a beach on the Isle of Mull. Only it was oysters. All across the sand. And I had a bottle of cold white wine in my jeans pocket...
