    I've never tried them. My daughter wants me to cook some. Any suggestions on cooking and cleaning? Are they any good?

    run for your life.





    last time i got food poisoning was on mussels. if you insist on risking death and eating them anyway, treat them like you would clams simmered in a white wine/tomato sauce served with pasta.

    but i still suggest run for your life.

    Mussels. Yum. Yeah, just make sure to chunk the ones that dont open. Nice spicy tomato-basil works.

    Just make cioppino.

    Don't over cook them...they'll have the same texture as a superball. I know I'm leaving myself wide open for this one...:rofl:.

    (CS... the bouncey ball from Hasbro.....please :lol:.)

    Any idea how that might be? May just have to add some "shrimps" to the pot.

    Simple enough, thanks :thumb: Might try a nice sauvignon blanc 'wit 'dat !

    EDIT: That was very easy to cook and very good. May try it at a tailgate.
