I’ve been eating mussels since I was a kid (yes, I’m THAT old), and I’ve found myself craving different varieties of mussels all throughout the year. In the summer, fresh mussels in the shell are the best, but you can buy canned mussels as well. While canned mussels are fresher, they aren’t as tasty, and I find them to be a tad on the salty side.
I think you can enjoy canned mussels without a ton of effort, but they are still good. If you’re looking for a different, less-salty canned mussel, check out the ones sold in cans at the grocery store. They are a bit more expensive, but worth the few bucks.
They are a very tasty, high quality and easy way to get creative with your own food. If you have a small garden or something, I’d say you could make a batch of great canned mussels at home and call it a day. Or if you have a big garden and you just crave to cook with fresh mussels, you can also check out my recipe for mussel pasta.
For me, canned mussels are the perfect summer meal to make. They are so fresh that you can’t go wrong with them. They have a nice texture and are easy to cook. They are also very simple to make, so you can make an entire meal with just one batch of canned mussels.
If you are interested in making homemade canned mussels, I have a great recipe. You can find it here.
It is also true that there are different types of canned mussels, each providing a distinct flavor profile. I just wanted to show you one that I have been making recently. It is called canned mussels and it is a little more delicate than the others. The key is to use a small canning jar. One with a tight-fitting lid is perfect.
The reason I love the taste of canned mussels so much is that the flavor depends on the water content of the mussels. This is true for all types of canned mussels. To test this, I opened a can of mussels and checked the water content. I found that the water level reached as low as 5% of the water in the jar. This is the ideal water content so that you don’t have to add additional water for a more robust taste.
Also, be sure to use the best-tasting water to keep the mussels alive. If the water is too salty, they will drown. Good water is always fresh and clean, so if you are not using the freshest water, use distilled water.
If you use fresh water, you will need to add more water to get the exact amount of water that will last. Also, you can use a can opener to pry off the mussels from the rock in which you used the water.
The best way to use canned mussels is as a substitute for a fresh shellfish. The water is fresh, so all you do is just add water. The mussels will not die, and are the most tender and flavorful. Of course, you will need more water than you would with a fresh shellfish. If you are starting with a can opener, you can pry off the mussels from the rock in which you used the water.
