I was at Costco today and they had the big bag of mussels for $2.29/lb. I usually don't buy them if I can't use them in a day or two. However, I noticed the sell by date was 9 days out so I boug...

I like but don't love mussels like I do other seafood; shrimp, scallops, clams, oysters, crab, octopus, squid etc. I enjoy a few then the taste gets to me. Would I be wrong to say cloying sweetnes...
