The season for fresh mussels?

[rotuts]

i have the new Jacques Pepin book:

its quite good but its not about new stuff: its about recipes that are long standing. the is a PBS show

while growing up I lived in France for two years: my parents were teachers.

Ive picked my own mussels in Normady back then and they were probably pollution free (sort of ...)

Id like to go back and make JP's mussel Rx's I tend to get the bee in the bonnet at the wrong time

what is the 'good' season in NE for PEI lets say mussels?

many' thanks.

I think farmed mussels are a pretty safe bet. They should be in a bag with a harvest date on them. If they're recently harvested and closed up tight, then no problema.

Unless an area is closed due to red tide, the season shouldn't matter. And pretty rare to have a closure due to red tide at this time of year. Like Weinoo wrote, there shouldn't be any problem with farmed mussels.
