Any mussel fans? They're great for protein, manganese, and omega-3.
>>77166246mussels are great. don't eat them often enough!
>>77166246Yeah i like mussels, but i don't think they're worth the effort. Other seafood is equally nutritious and also tastes great, but can also be prepared much faster or just snacked.
I used to love them but I eat them too often and lately I've been getting tired of them. Will probably have them for lunch since I was out of town and all meat in my fridge is frozen. Cheap, tasty and nutritious but becomes bland when you eat them too often.
>>77166246I thought shellfish (clams, oysters, mussels) are too high in mineral content to consume more than semi-regularly. Becareful Anon, dont poison yourself
Yep, eat them every week when they are in season, I live 2-3 hours from a big mussel farm so they are cheap and fresh.Heres my recipe: In a big wok/pot I put:Butter and Olive oilDiced Shallots/GarlicWhite WineSalt/Black Pep Chilly FlakesSaute all this for 5 mins on low heat until fragrantPut the mussels in - heat on medium high, stir everything (carefully) and put the lid on.Usually after 5-7 mins they will open up which means they are ready, garnish with fresh parsley and (lemon optional).Great source of Iodine btw.
>>77166264Mussels aren't that hard. Just rinse and yank off the beards. Throw out the obviously dead ones. Chuck it in a pan with a lid, dunk with some wine, oil, and aromatics and simmer for like 10-12 minutes. Serve with fresh bread. The longest part is sorting them out, but they're so cheap and delicious that I really don't mind.
I live in nola area so i eat a ton of seafood
>>77166353>mineralI think you mean heavy metal content.When is the last time you have ever heard of or read about someone without an allergy being negatively affected by eating too much shellfish?Oh that's right, never.Amerifats will find any excuse to avoid seafood just as /fit/ finds any excuse to avoid vegetables.
>>77166246I used to be really into these when I was younger, nowadays it just seems like I'm eating a bunch of tiny organs and feels gross
>>77166477>Throw out the obviously dead onescan't tell until you've cooked them
>>77166763They are literally me fr.
>>77166264you can get the frozen ones, it's literally as simple as dropping them in a pot, covering, and waiting 10-15 minutesdon't taste as good of course, but are still fine with a good garlic butter and i'd eat them regardless due to how damn healthy they are
>>77166353>are too high in mineral content
>>77166246>closest thing to a pussy you niggers will ever eat in youre lifes
I’ll have them this summer
>>77166246Yeah? Isn’t that why we workout?
>>77166763any that have broken shells you toss. Any that are open, tap them a few times then set them down for a minute. If they don't close back up, they're deadAny that were closed with undamaged shells are alive and can be eaten
>>77166353too high of minerals is a good thing, your body will store what you need and piss out the rest
>>77166486Vegetables are fucking useless and nutritionally empty
>>77166246Bottom feeding sea cockroaches. These things suck up all the trash from the ocean floor and you want to eat them? They are the most dangerous seafood for a reason.
