Mussels Cornish 1kg

Mussels are some of the most delicious, best value seafood you’ll find, due to them being easily rope-grown and harvested. They’re oblong shaped, usually 2-3 inches long and a gorgeous navy blue colour. Their meat is bright orange and very flavoursome – anyone in the know with mussels uses an empty shell as a pair of tongs to get the meat out of the others. They make a fabulous as a starter or a main and are often cooked in shallots, cream and white wine. In Cornwall you’ll commonly find them cooked in the local cider – a delicious treat to try at home too! Like most shellfish, mussels really don’t need a long cook time – a few minutes steamed in the sauce just enough to open their shells will mean you’ll get the most tender meat.
