These are outstanding mussels. I have never cooked fresh mussels before, but it was so simple and the flavor is amazing. Everyone was raving, including a very picky 5 year old who devoured them! My only complaint is that, after ordering these twice, they arrived with many crushed shells. I’m sure this happened during shipping, but it was still frustrating to have to throw them out on two seperate occasions.
I first learned about Taylor Bay mussels from a restaurant we frequently ate at in the San Fernando Valley, Brandywine. Then we moved to Carlsbad, and didn’t have access to Brandywine. I decided to order some and cook them at home. I’m so glad I did, although I ordered way more than was necessary! I cleaned and de-bearded them on Friday and cooked them on Saturday, for us and guests. Some died from my aggressive de-bearding, so, next time, I will wait and clean them just before cooking them. Regardless, they were so plump and buttery, and practically no sand inside the shells! I will definitely buy them again! Also, the leftovers are great eaten cold the next day, or added to pasta and a favorite sauce.
