ha ha ,...i expected to see a bodybuilder for some reason,...
That is just not worth it!
All that risk for a few calories that taste like boiled innertube!
We have two places we get ours from one requires swimming which I am sometimes just not hard enough to do in winter or grabbing them from a sandy inlet which is easier but they are really gritty. We soak ours live over night in a bucket of water to removed the sand, sometimes they need two changes of water.they looked like some really good mussels, almost worth the risk. its so hard to find decent mussels near me, almost always full of sand
