Cooking with frozen mussels

[gulfporter]

I bought the frozen green-lipped mussels at Pacifica (it's a decent chain pescaderia) and didn't care for them (very rubbery as well as a bit too fishy taste)...I followed the package directions.  They were pricey so I never bought them to try again.

Perfectly fine. Especially the New Zealand ones. And as @heidih says.

Thanks, Heidi, for the information about unopened shellfish. As for the kind of mussel, I don't know--I just know that the store has them but I haven't bought them yet. However, I now have confidence that the frozen ones will work pretty much the same as fresh. We'll get a supply the next time we go to Morelia.

 

Thanks, all--

They all died?

Yes I noticed - sorry. The DGritzer article is still alive.

I've had bivalve/shellfish food poisoning in the past--it's an experience I'd rather not repeat. That's why I asked. I am somewhat reassured...
