so, someone at my local supermarket preordered a ton of mussels

Why don't you go for mussels "a la marinière" with french frites? It's simple and classic.

What the fuck does "preordered" mean?
Either someone ordered them or didn't, how does that advance to idiot using the term "preordered?" Is that like some idiot using tweet from twitter?

Check for any loosely opened/cracked mussels when you get your package, those are dead and no good.

Then check each mussel by knocking them on a hard surface to see if they're still alive, living ones should react by closing their shell tightly.

Any mussels after who didn't open when cooked were no good as well.

There, minimized the chance of food poisoning.

Do all clappyfats have to be this paranoid about food poisoning from mussels or are you just severely autistic?

preordering means you get everything ready and place the order ahead of time, before actually ordering at the normal time

so you order before you order, and its a preorder

I actually learned this method because like OP I bought a questionable batch of mussels last year.

They were vacuum sealed, had two stickers with 30-50% off and were a day past the perish date. At least they were still refridgerated.

>he preorders his mussels for the dlc

I'd just fry off a bunch of chilli and garlic, then throw some roughly chopped tomatoes, a splash of white wine or water and the mussels in and put the lid on for a few minutes. 90% of what makes mussel broth delicious is the juice that comes out of them, so there's not much point worrying about a detailed recipe.

Vacuum sealed mussels wouldn't be alive anyway, surely.
