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. For current prices go up to our
Shellfish
page.
| 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. |
