COOKING AND STORING LIVE MUSSELS
Our Mussels, as the Oysters come from Fowey Oyster Farm, and are ready purged and certified before sold. Provided you follow the following they are safe to store for a few days until ready for use. The wild mussels cannot be beaten for flavour and grow to large size.
| Keep mussels tightly packed in the bottom of the fridge until required. |
|
| DO NOT immerse in water. |
|
| When required, rinse in cold water. |
|
| Discard any broken mussels and those which gape and fail to close during handling or when tapped sharply. |
|
| Steam with lid on in 1cm of fluid over a high heat. Shake saucepan after 2 minutes. The mussels are cooked after they open - about 3 - 5 minutes. |
|
| Discard any that have not opened. Serve the mussels immediately. |
