Eating hot spicy food is one good way of beating the Winter cold. The beauty of mussels, is they go so well with hot spices, particulalry cooked Thai style. I’m busy trying to find a really good Thai recipe, that is simple to make, so watch this space. The downside of Winter is it can affect the availability of mussels, so often you need to order a few more to tie you over until the next harvest.
How to store your Mussels
Mussels will keep for up to 4 – 5 days in the fridge. Just put the mussels in a bowl and place a damp cloth over the top. Everyday, drain off the mussel liquid. Smell the mussels, they should smell just like the Sea. When your’e ready to cook, rinse the mussels through with clean water. Discard any mussels that remain open. Its as simple as that. Mussels can also be frozen…but that’s another story.
