I was surprised to see "farm raised mussels" were only like $3.50/lb on sale at Publix ...

If I'm making them for myself only, how many pounds would I want to eat well - like 3?

Also, what's PEI? I've seen PEI before, but these weren't those ... oh wait, I know ... Price Edward Island, but Bum ... those ate just good one's from CatalinaOp.com ...

So I know, for next time, just grab two lbs, or three, or ?

personal preference. I get tired of mussels real quick...like after 6. You may want more if you are using them to glavor your sauce or dish.

 

[grantmichaels]

six lbs, or six mussels?
lol ...

i liked those little handbag-like little bastards in parm/butter/oil/garlic/?cream ...

like, could have eaten a bunch ...

 

[tctenten]

Six mussels...Like what you would find on an dish of fra diavolo.

 

[grantmichaels]

Oh no, what is that? ... Six little buttery purses would just be warming up, unless I'm confused in hindsight ...

I smashed a bowl of them at Carraba's like two decades ago ...

You did it again....looks perfect. You will enjoy it more once you start cranking out bread.

Nice!

That's it for me....that is why I told Grant it is personal preference.

If you have a Costco near by, catch them when they make their bread...usually can tell when it is being made before you enter the store by the smell alone.

I like to make that smell here, though, now ...
 
I plan to check out Costco this Summer, though ...

Mussels are mostly shell weight.  A pound of mussels will yield like 4-6oz of meat.  Normally a pound will serve as an app portion for one.

Sweet, so like 2-3 lbs for a small mouth-fisting fest, yeah?

Just buy a bag, that is perfect for 2 or if you really want eat them all solo in a nice steamed white wine garlic sauce that you can dip your fresh bread in.
