How to Prep Mussels
1. Tap each mussel lightly and discard any that remain open or have broken shells.
2. Rinse well under cold running water and use a stiff brush to remove any barnacles or grit from the shells.
3. Pull off any fibrous "beards" that might be pinched between the shells. (Though the "beards" of most cultivated mussels are already removed.)
