great instructional video - thanks for posting! will try this tonight :) i got a bit worried because i put ice on top of my mussels right after i got home from the store, but so glad i used a colander with holes on the bottom :)
it's hard to get the salt percentage correct and you could accidentally kill them if it's not perfect -- so just store them as I suggested, either on ice, or just in a bowl with a damp towel on top. They should be totally fine in 48 hours unless they were less than fresh when you got them.
not consuming dead shellfish is an old wives tale. refrigeration and safe storing are a reality for today's market, and you can safely consume them provided there is no foul odor or spoilage.
Thank you for straight forward info without the extra talking like others.
Nice, clear, direct and simple advice. Will be following this advise as I clean some mussels for a risotto dinner tonight. Thanks for the video.

Excellent video - concise and to the point.
This was a wonderful video! It was informative and eased my anxiety about cooking my first round of mussels!
yes, you're correct. Therefore, it's important to cook them soon after de-bearding them, to avoid bacterial contamination.
They are dead because they've been cooked -- that's okay -- To be clear, you should cook only live shellfish. Once cooked and/or frozen no problem.
I love how you started with knowing if the mussel is dead or alive-great video!! Thanks for sharing.
Surprisingly informative! Great video!
This was extremely helpful. Thank you!
Very helpful video. Great editing too.
Excellent video, going to give these a shot tonight in our dutch oven in a chicken & mussel provencal pot

Hi Becky, you said in your video that eating dead mussels is bad, but the ones from the grocery store is frozen and pre-cooked. Is that bad? =/
there are mussels in our commissary wherein the upper shells are already removed. How will I know if they are alive or still safe for consumption?
So helpful! Thank you!
are they frozen?
awesome, thank you!
@Ashloup YES!I did,too.I love cooking fresh seafood
