How to store fresh mussels.

When you buy your mussels fresh from us they’ll be ready to pop straight into the fridge once you get home. The key is to keep them cold and wet. Take them out of the bag and place into a large bowl. Dampen a cloth or a tea towel and place over the top of the mussels to cover them. Place the bowl in the fridge (we often put them on the bottom shelf to keep them out of the way) and they’ll keep for a few days so long as you keep the cloth damp and empty out any water that collects at the bottom of the bowl (it’s important to regularly check if you’re not cooking them right away as you don’t want them left sitting in any water). And that’s it! Your mussels will be kept fresh for up to four days, but like most things are best eaten sooner rather than later!
