Just ate a slice of bread with fried mussels on it. Pre-cooked mussels out of a jar that is.. and for conservation reasons they put them in a water/vinegar/E-number solution which my system doesn't like very much/not at all. But but, what I do, like e.g. with canned artichoke also, I give them a proper rinsing first and let them 'swim' in fresh tap water, in a cup or sutin', for over half an hour after that.. so the acidity is mostly gone. Okay, that makes them taste a tadski more watery.. but hey.
Dropped the little søckers in a bowl with a stirred egg (pepper/salt) then and after that in a diff. bowl with breadcrumbs and toss them about a bit. I then repeat that procedure and fried them in 'me' wok with a touch of real butter. Um, love mussels and loved them fried even better so.
Blahiah.. (sørry)
