So, there you have it, the mussel myth has been busted. Mussels are not bad just because they're open, in fact, it's quite the opposite. And, if you're still not convinced, just remember, mussels are like oysters, but without the pearl, they're still a delicious and shell-abulous seafood option.
In conclusion, the next time you're at a seafood restaurant, don't be afraid to order the mussels, even if they're open. Just make sure to check for freshness and you'll be shell-ing out for more in no time. And, if you're feeling extra adventurous, you can even try mussel farming, it's a thing, I swear. But, that's a story for another time, stay shell-tastic, folks!
