Would you eat one day out of date mussels?

[TragicallyHip]

They were fresh from Morrisons on Saturday. BB was yesterday, do you think they will be ok for tonight?

I'd just apply the usual rules - chuck any that are closed and don't open when tapped. OK is OK, the mussels no better than Morrisons if they're alive or not.

Oh, but maybe they're pre-cooked. If so, then no, I don't think I would. Despite being usually quite lax about best before dates.

...mussels know better...

I ignore dates normally but with mussels not sure. Would they still open if OK ?

If fresh then I'd probably risk it (but mussels are my favourite food in the world!!)

Totally the wrong way round with the usual rules, sorry, toddler distraction.

Arf at mussels know better

Not pre-cooked, I don't normally go by bb dates but I know you have to be a bit careful with Seafood.

I shall cook them then!

Thanks

No worries, I get what you mean

Did he vomit too? How out of date were they?

No!
In fact no no no no no no no no!!

I am rarely too fussed over sell-by-dates but shellfish scare me.

Eating mussels that are dead before you cook them is A Bad Idea, even if they're well within date. If they're alive then they're fine, 'tis always important to check very carefully.

so chuck those that are open before cooking
if there seems to be loads that are open my guess is that you should not cook them
and don't eat any that are closed after cooking

That's gross, how could you be happy about a black tongue?!

Ormirian have you known anyone to get ill? I am a little scared myself but it's only one day

HettyAmaretti I know about checking them but was more concerned about them being a day out if date. Do you think it will be ok?

Gah. Yes, if they're alive then they're fine to eat .

Opps sorry HettyAmaretti just realised you were the first to post

enjoy 'em.

Will do

Are you alive today ??? drooling still at the thought

No need to worry I am still here

They were lurrrrvely!
