Tips:
- Choose the freshest mussels possible. Look for mussels that are tightly closed and have no cracks or chips in their shells.
- Clean the mussels thoroughly before cooking. Use a stiff brush to scrub away any dirt or debris from the shells. Be sure to remove the beards, which are the small, fibrous strands that protrude from the mussels.
- Don't overcook the mussels. Mussels only take a few minutes to cook, so be careful not to overcook them, or they will become tough and rubbery.
- Serve the mussels immediately. Mussels are best served hot, so be sure to serve them as soon as they are cooked.
