Tips:

Mussels are filter feeders, and tend to absorb any toxic chemicals and pollutants from the water pumped through them. To avoid danger of food poisoning, when cooking mussels the following two “chef’s rules” should always be adhered to:

◦ before cooking, discard any mussels where the shells are open (including those which are cracked)
◦ after cooking, discard any mussels where the shells remain closed.
