Looks Awesome, Richie!!!

I never ate Mussels, but I always loved Clams!
I always wanted to try them, but never did.
Then my Son had some at a Picnic in Jersey, and he got violently sick, and thought he was going to die.
Everybody thought they might have been spoiled, because it was in the Summer & it was at a Picnic.
But then he had some in a Restaurant, and the same thing happened.
So now I'm afraid to try them, because he is my Son, and if that happened to me, it would probably Kill me.
I still love & eat clams, and all other shellfish.
Does anyone know, if you aren't allergic to Clams, Lobster, Oysters, Crab Meat, and all other shellfish, could you still be allergic to Mussels???

I wanted to comment, I think many folks have no idea how inexpensive Mussels can be.
Usually about only $2/ Lb.
Don't need to go to a high $ Fishmonger.
Many larger regular grocery stores have them, located in Frozen food next to like the Shrimp, crawfish meat, etc.
---- They usually have a very small space to display in, often hard to spot. -----
In TX, many HEB's have them, also Walmart.
Also, maybe Asian grocery stores. Marc

Marc Thank You that is good info for folks who do not have a source for fresh
Richie
Even the frozen ones in my neck of the woods are spendy. 0n sale toy can get them for $5.99/pound, $8.99-$12.99 not on sale.
That's my kinda meal, Richie. Love mussels and clams. I hardly ever get to eat them. Miss Linda hates them and our neighbors don't eat them. He's so allergic to shellfish, that if he eats even a hint of one, he's on the floor doing the funky chicken.
POINTS for a meal I'd love to eat.
