Mussels are delish!! Growing up my mom would cook them fresh when we'd bring them home. I remember having them a few different ways. White wine, butter herb sauce with pasta. In bouillabaisse. And broiled with butter and breadcrumbs and cocktail with parmesan. I wish I lived closer!!! I also miss the fishing, clamming and oysters off the beach!!!
fear no fish!!

Mooring buoys are a great place to find them and most people will be happy if you are cleaning their buoy.

So tonight I ate one limit of mussels myself.  I diced 4  shallots, 1 head of garlic, 1 table spoon Tyme leaves, a large handful of fresh parsley.
Melted butter, then threw In shallots, garlic, parsley, thyme. Cook till onions transparent, then add one can of diced tomatoes, and 1 and 1/2 cups white wine.  Bring to boil then throw mussles I for 5 to 7 min until all opened.  Done.  A pinch of red pepper flakes for heat.

I have found Penn Cove to be the favorite IMO.  I was in Costco the other day and they had bags of Penn Cove.  Not the same as getting them yourself I understand.  A buddy of mine a ferry boat captain would get us 50lb bags of those delicious bivalves.
It's a TIKKA thing..., you may not understand.

mussels are pretty good but hardly worth the work, by the time you de-beard them and wash them. lots of work for what you get. virtually have unlimited amounts of oysters, clams and mussels. usually eat mussels a few times a year, but always prefer oysters and steamers. did you find it worth the work sled? oysters on the bbq are my favorite
