Tips

For the best flavor, use fresh mussels. If you can't find fresh mussels, frozen mussels will work, but they will not be as flavorful.
Be sure to clean the mussels thoroughly before cooking them. This will remove any sand or grit.
Don't overcook the mussels. They should be cooked just until they are opaque and tender.
Serve the mussels immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
