sure - you mean take the mussel's out of the shell after they've steamed!

sure be sure to clean all the beard off first ,once steamed just use a blunt knife and run it around the inside of the stuck mussel ,and it will come free, just looks nicer the trying to pull it out,,be sure to discard any that are open before you stem them as they will be bad ,,as long as all closed when you put in pot to steam you will not give them food poisoning :-)

no way - the last time I "shucked" a mussel was the night before Mothers day and I got a really BAD one and was incredibley ill for 3 days!I steam them open these days but have bought too many and wondering if I can put them in the freezer for another time!

Yes, you can FREEZE them for another time, but I would use within three months.
