Mussels

#1 Post by Clive O Driscoll »

Just wondering how people prepare these?
I collected quiet a few sunday morning and just have them sitting inside their water ( after opening them ) in a container, do you dry them out or something??

Thanks for any help

Jes, sorry that would be good alright if I had mentioned, I am looking at using them for bait for Cod, I have a few tucked into squid but I was also wanting to see if you didn't have squid, how would you use them, Thanks for the reminder...

We use to salt them. Put them into an empty coffee jar and cover with a very generous layer of salt. Lasts for ages and toughens them up.
