You can tell when mussels are cooked when their shells open up. If a mussel's shell remains closed after cooking, it may be unsafe to eat.
the smell of them should tell you. if they smell good then they probably are. BUT i wouldn't recommended it.
24 hours in the 'fridge is pushing it.
There is about 5.71 mg iron in a 3 ounce serving of cooked mussels.
Surely raw mussels are fresh mussels meaning they are still alive,That being the case keep live mussels in a cool place in a pail/bucket of water and feed lightly with oatmeal cereal (not cooked) salt the water slightly...Then cook when required...Only eat the ones that open after boiling that is the safe way to be sure..Shellfish should not be stored in refrigerator in its raw state...Once cooked eat at once
Yes. This can be because they are incorrectly cooked or (more likely) that they are poisoned by toxins in the sea they were collected from. It is very common for people to get sick from mussels because of this, so when collecting or buying mussels, be aware of where they came from and whether there are warnings issued for that area.
Cooked mussels stored in the refrigerator should be eaten within 1 or 2 days. See Related Links.
yes this is very normal you may also find tiny pearls
Of course you can! You can eat clams, mussels, etc. as long as they are cooked until the shell is opened.(But, make sure the shells are tightly shut BEFORE you put them on to steam/boil. If the mussel is open and you try to shut it and it springs back open, DO NOT COOK/EAT IT! It's already dead and posionous if consumed.
Mussels (shell fish) cooked in a little white wine with onions and herbs and sometimes finished with a little cream.
By it colour. If its orangey, then its a female. If its white, then its male. HOPE IT HELPED :)
If you refrigerated them properly after cooking, mussels that were cooked last night should be safe to eat today.
You boil the shelled mussels in boiling water and they are cooked when the shells split open.
