A young woman’s video of her mother’s first-time encounter with seafood captured the attention of social media users, turning a simple meal into a hilarious, viral moment.
The clip, shared on TikTok by @xolo3381, was met with amusement and affection from thousands of viewers who were entertained by the mom.
The mother was treated by her daughter, TikTok user @xolo3381, to an Ocean Basket meal, which included a lavish seafood platter. The comedy began when the mom held up a mussel and proceeded to put the entire thing, shell and all, into her mouth. The daughter, shocked, intervened just as her mom started chewing, telling her that she should eat it without a shell. The mom, shocked, took out what remained of the shell.

Undeterred by the mussel mishap, the mom moved on to try the prawns. Using a fork and knife, she tried one, consuming the entire thing: shell, head, and tail. The clip then transitioned to show the mom sitting with her hands folded, looking satisfied but slightly puzzled, prompting the daughter to turn the camera toward herself to capture her amusement.
