Nice to find your blog, your pics are lovely and so is your blog. I am figuring how to cook my mussels tonight, maybe using beer with a thai twist : )

I'm living and teaching ESL in South Korea- just last night we bought 2 kilos of mussels for less than 2 dollars and they were SO good! We'll try this recipe next- looks wonderful!

Thank you! Over here, mussels are usually with black shells. I think I've seen the green ones in Australia.

looks amazing! I love this type of mussels with the black shells (instead of green) … so hard to find here!

I was told that the mussels should smell fresh, the shells on these bivalves should be tightly closed. Give a tap if you see slight opening, the shell should close quickly. This means that it's alive. Try to avoid those with chipped or broken shells.
