Fresh Mussels
Fresh mussels are plump, briny bivalves with a tender texture and a taste of the sea. Their shells are often a striking blue or black, and when steamed open, they release a delicate, oceanic aroma that instantly transports you to coastal shores.
Notes
Always ensure mussels are alive before cooking—discard any with cracked shells or that remain closed after cooking. Give them a good scrub under cold water to remove any sand or debris.
Uses
- Steamed with white wine and garlic
- In a hearty seafood chowder
- Grilled with a squeeze of lemon
