The "black gold" of Zeeland province, mussels grown in Easter Scheldt are most famous throughout Europe. These little guys are very rich in protein, minerals and vitamins, as well as in taste! Traditionally, the rule of thumb is to eat mussels during the months with letter "R", but for Dutch this extends to seasons with letter "R": zomer (summer), herfst (autumn) and winter. Typical mussels dish includes a mussels pan with fries and bread with several sauces. The most famous "mussels" villages are Yerseke, Bruinisse and Philippine.
