I heard a commotion outside and I thought my neighbors were fighting or something. Lolll Turned out some people were gathered around the mussel vendor haggling over the price. The mussels were freshly caught (or harvested? I don’t know the term) and they just looked so inviting. I bought half a kilo for 50 pesos. No idea if it’s overpriced or not but I’m thinking grilled mussels for dinner. I haven’t tried it though. Gonna check YouTube for some videos.
How about you? Do you have any mussel recipes?

I can't eat seafood. I've been in the hospital twice when I did eat some. *sigh* I would love to eat some. (I love them battered and deep-fried.) You are so lucky!
Mussels are harvested, if you don't mind me telling you the correct term.

I am a vegetarian and I have never cooked it for my family who enjoy non veg. I am sure you will find some really good recipes online.

We like mussels but not the big green ones, the small French mussels "Buchot" or "Buzigues".
For the small ones, we open the mussels in a pan with a little olive oil, garlic and pepper, we add chopped parsley and serve. They are also good with a garlic butter.
We bake the large mussels "au gratin", we open them raw, we fill with chopped parsley, bread crumbs, Parmesan, olive oil and put in a hot oven.

I like mussels though I've had them only in my adult life. My parents didn't care for them, so my mom never cooked them. I haven't made them either . I like the kind where they make it kinda creamy - it's often at buffets - I don't know what they do to them!

I like mussels but I don't know how to cook. My mother used to cook mussel soup and I love the taste but never tried it on my own.
