Tristen: "Because I really want to make the mussel the star, I am going to just use zucchini and mussels as the base of this dish. I'm going to try to wrap the mussels in zucchini blossoms and tempura-fry them. Squash blossoms aren't something I use a lot, but they have the ability to house flavor really well."

Tristen: "This is just a PEI mussel rolled in a zucchini flower and tempura-fried. Underneath is a mussel emulsion, and then there's just a little zucchini salad on top of it. Also dressed with a little bit of mussel juice."
