Facts about Prince
How do I cook my mussels?
Put the vegetables together with a splash of wine or beer in a large pot. Place the mussels on top. Sprinkle with pepper and bring to a boil with the lid closed. Shake the mussels during cooking. When the shells are all open after about 5-8 minutes, the mussels are cooked. Serve them with baguette or fries and sauces of your choice. Check the traditional recipe for more information.
Can you freeze fresh mussels?
Fresh mussels in the shell should never be frozen. However, if you have cooked the mussels and can't eat them all, you can freeze the mussel meat after removing it from the shell. You can then add the mussels to soup or salad later, or fry them up nicely with some onion.
