What is Mussels?

Mussels are a ocean dwelling mollusk, with a small, black elongated shell protecting its body. When mussels are cooked the shells pop open, revealing a pale orange meat; the body of the mussel. The mussel is small and has a soft meaty texture when cooked properly. If overcooked, the mussel is tough and rubbery. Mussels have a ocean/marine taste that is salty, with a hint of fishy sweetness. Mussels are good cooked with wine, butter and herbs, though there are many variation for serving them.
