How to get meat from fresh mussels

Before preparing to kill mussels, it is best to raise them with clear water for 2-3 days, so that they can spit out all the sediment, which is more conducive to the later treatment. Like other mussels, putting a few drops of cooking oil in the water can make mussels spit out dirty things more quickly. Pay attention to changing the clear water several times during the period of raising mussels, and you can prepare to kill mussels when you see that the clear water will not become too turbid.

1. Wash the cultured mussel shells to prevent the dirt on the shells from getting on the mussel meat. Put the mussel mouth up on the chopping board, hold it tightly with your left hand to prevent the mussel from slipping off, and then insert a sharp knife into the mussel from the mussel outlet with your right hand, and the penetration depth is about 1/

2. Then cut down its adductor muscle. There are four adductors, two adductors on each side.

3. After the mussel obturator internus is completely cut off, the mussel will naturally open, then the mussel meat will be completely taken out with a knife, and then the mussel meat will be washed repeatedly with clear water, thus completing the whole process of killing mussels.

Key points: When cutting adductor muscle, clean the mussel shell, because it is the most delicious meat of shellfish, so don't waste it.
