I love these
3rd purchase. So easy, fresh and works out chequer than any shell on brand or supermarket version too.. No Fuss no mess no bad ones to throw out. Great. Used in pasta dishes, added to tarka dahl for some extra flavour. Haven't tried coating then airfried yet but that's next. Needs seasoning and lemon as it is a plain canvass.
not that nice
I love mussels and was eager to try these. They are not that nice to be honest.
Lacking in full flavour
I thought I'd try these to see how they compare with other mussels available. The defrosting and cooking instructions on the back of the packe were difficult to make out and secondly, although I added in white wine, garlic parsley a small amount of stock, black pepper and finished of with cream, there was a definate lack of the flavour that you get with fresh or even the vac pack 'in their shells' product. Were not a hit with our family so won't be buying again
many broken shells
Not cleaned properly left with many broken shells please avoid!

Very tasty and so incredibly convenient for a quick healthy salad with a few leaves and a glug of lemon juice and olive oil.
