Cheap As Chips Mussel

[toonboymc]

Tesco mate at roker, there was only 3 bags of them there sitting on the ice, could not believe when I touched one of the big ones on it's shell it closed fast as, that's what made me buy them.
to shell then I put a knife in the point where the seaweed they were stuck to is sticking out then run the knife round till ligiment is cut and the shell opens easy as.
after this I do a few of them from shells I then use half of the shell from an empty one to scoop them out as I find this works better.
I've put them straight from fresh into the tub then taken them into small packets and put back into tub to freeze.
I would have loved to cook them but as our lass now says your fishing mad lol

these were fresh not cooked mussel's

hello mick next time you see them get me a bag plus put some of that magic spray and juice on them cod will love them lol

Put them in the freezer the night before shelling, its much easier and they are nice and firm when scooping out and will not fall to bits

Well was sick of paying £2- £3 for a tinny small bag of mussel from tackle shops, so while I was shopping some nice live fresh Scottish mussels caught my eye. and I normally don't buy from supermarkets but these bad boys were massive and one touch on them and boom did they close up fast.
I've now de-shelled them all and for £3.48 for 950kg I thought was tidy price to pay.
should last a while if freeze some up

Think you missed the decimal point out cosmic the bag must have been the size of a builders dumpy bag
