Something’s Fishy…
This person thought they were sharing some hot gossip about how mussels are prepared in restaurants. We think he just might not like mussels, though, because the secret he shared wasn’t very surprising to some people. He told everyone on the thread to never order mussels because they’re hard to clean.
When his restaurant gets fresh mussels, they have to toss out about 5% of them because they’re low-quality. The remaining mussels are cleaned, but they continue to leak out “nasty, muddy-looking” liquid. A lot of people came to the defense of mussels by explaining that this liquid is just saltwater and is totally safe to eat. If the OP doesn’t like mussels, that’s totally fine. Just don’t try to ruin them for the rest of us!
