Responsibly raised in a certified safe water ecosystem, these fresh live black mussels from H-E-B are great for making a gourmet-level appetizer. Great steamed in their shells with white wine, butter, shallots, parsley and pepper, they open up after being cooked and go well with hunks of fresh bread on the side. Packed with a sweet, briny taste, they have a firm texture much like a mushroom. For an idea of how much to order, 1 lb of mussels serves about 1 - 2 people.
