They come with chips?

No way - OH loves them!

What do they eat?

where to eat mussels?
Not in a landlocked country, that's for sure.

French coast, preferably near the la Manche des Merdes where they can be fattened up by passing bilge

Yeah but I'd say a good fish n chips is higher than moules frites. When I was in the States (Maine) I had a clam chowder in a bread roll. That was awesome.

Oysters I love even more than mussels. I can open and eat 2 dozen in a row!

PS: any couple planing to have kids is highly recommended to encourage male partner to have oysters.

Too right, I don't eat seafood in Switzerland.

That ones seems like Airport clam showdah

ohh my god! please stop posting this. it's a torture.
It's all the seafood i like to eat and I will probably have just a regular diner tonight

Manor has very good seafood quality.

i love them tooooo! growing up by the sea we would pick them when we went out fishing and go home and cook them up- so good. same with oysters but we'd just eat them raw on the way home . i sure do like them but i guess eating them when i was younger gave me a taste for them. nothing posh about either i'd say, in fact the wealthier kids wouldn't even touch them. mussels are by far my favorite though, in a paella or white wine and buttery sauce, and moules and frites, as was said above is anything but fancy, though they are delicious...

Officially, it is plankton. Basically, they filter up whatever is in the seawater.

I sometimes get Tuna from Coop or Jelmoli (not much difference in price or quality) but I'm not sure if I trust the freshness of scallops, which is in my top 3 or 4 favourite seafoods. Would you recommend I try the scallops in Manor?

nah, im not sure about eating the seafood here either if only the perch from lac leman, though it's not a favorite of mine. all the seafood we don't eat here we make up for in costa rica and new york where my family clams, spearfishes and cooks it all up. the hardest part about living in switzerland is the landlocked part but thankfully the good veggies and chocolate keep me going

that bread bowl of clam chowder is new england clam chowder and it is delicious. i'm guessing from the plastic it's not the airport but one of those outdoor seafood shacks on the harbor somewhere. yum. love a good clam chowder- now i've gotta start dinner!

take Moules from a Brasserie in northern France.
take Moules from anywhere in Switzerland.

I'd take the ones that have not been frozen - taste, texture, there's no comparison.

lake fish is very good here, that's true. There is a Gasthaus on the Seedamm that does locally-caught stuff at a reasonable price and will give you more if you ask when they collect the plate

yes you find scallop and queen scallop. Check the days when they have seafood delivered (in fribourg it's tuesday and friday).

it's shellfish and shellfish tends to be a bottom feeder

it's an eat-shit-and-die lifestyle, typically...

Plastic + plastic cup+ lighting. I had the same in LAX once.

Nope. I do not eat seafood in any shape or form.

Let us know how the earwax tastes.

OK you have to know that even the brasserie in north france receives its seafood from a central market called Rungis in Paris suburbs. It's the same market that delivers seafood to Geneva and other places in Switzerland. I never buy frozen seafood it's against the will and ethics of my palate.
