I'm thinking of going mussel hunting this year, but for that I'll need a fishing license, some good locations for hunting, and patience to wait for low tides. On the plus side, I found a new tide calculator, this one has a nice chart of how high and low the tides get.

So far this year, I havent made it out to Pacifica, although I hear the fishing is good. Instead, I made it to Maxim Market today and bought 2 Dungeness for about $11 - something around $2.50 a pound. One was quite good, with nice brown flesh under the carapace - the kind that hangs together, and isnt soup - and the second was a little lighter inside, but still nowhere near as bad as some I have bought.
