Tips:

  • Choose fresh mussels. Fresh mussels should be tightly closed and have a briny smell. Discard any mussels that are open or have broken shells.
  • Clean the mussels thoroughly. Scrub the mussels under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Remove the beards (the stringy fibers that protrude from the shells) by pulling them out with your fingers.
  • Cook the mussels until they are just cooked through. Overcooked mussels will become tough and rubbery. Cook them for 3-5 minutes, or until the shells have opened.
  • Serve the mussels immediately. Mussels are best served hot, with a dipping sauce such as melted butter, white wine sauce, or garlic butter.
