Boasting an oceanic mildness with a hint of “mushroom” and a slightly chewy, tender texture, blue mussels find favor from chefs for a seafood paella, garlic butter linguine, or even a meal starter served with toasted crostini. If you’re wondering about the taste, it resembles a flavor between oysters and clams. Add your favorite spices and sauces to the mix. USA blue mussels soak in the juices majestically for a briny-sweet delicacy.
Distinguishing a blue mussel from clams, oysters, scallops and other bivalves requires a keen eye. It’s quite simple. They exhibit an equivalve or identical shell halves with notched ridges that keep the shell tightly shut. Smooth to touch and purplish brown in color, mussels “stick out” compared to the other filter feeders.
Blue mussels rely on floating food particles for energy, which also helps clean the waters as they ingest the nutrients. The cleaner the water, the more beneficial a mussel is for your health. Selenium, ideal for cardiovascular health, and iron, a source in producing red blood cells lead the list of mussel’s health benefits.
