The village of Bruinisse in the Dutch province of Zeeland is built around its mussel fishing industry, which has been a main source of income there for centuries. Atlas Obscura reported on the village and its harbour, which is home to a large, active mussel fleet. The mussel season runs from July to April, with mussel cutters sailing daily from the harbour to collect mussels that the village describes as some of the finest in the Netherlands.
