Prepare only mussels that are closed.
Do not eat mussels that have not opened after being
cooked. Risk of food poisoning!
Soak fresh mussels in water for a few hours before cooking to
rinse out any sand. Then scrub the mussels thoroughly to
remove all fibers.
Defrost frozen mussels before cooking.
The longer mussels are cooked, the tougher they become.
