Yeah I have to wait until my family is out of the house for a couple hours also. It does smell up the house quite bad. I’m allergic to shellfish also so it’s a bit of a challenge but I still find it worth it. My wife thinks I’m crazy.
If the smell is that strong I may just take the food processor out to the porch to keep my wife from being angry.

Apparently lol. I just remember I had some frozen mussels so I thawed them and just finished cutting them out of the shell and with that alone my wife is not happy.

WOW, sounds like my wife, I love seafood and my wife hates it. Occasionally, I fix some for myself and she leaves the house for the evening because "of the smell" :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:

Yep when I make crab legs my wife will find somewhere else to spend the evening. I like some seafood, but I’m not a big fan of oysters, clams, or mussels.

how much food did this make for you and how long did it last before you had to make a new batch?
did you place it in sandwich bags? how many did you fill up?
