You shouldn’t be concerned if a batch of #mussels is of different colours: pale white meat indicates a male mussel, and a warmer, more orangey colour, a female.
When buying #mussels, the shells should be bright, undamaged and closed. Open mussels should be given a squeeze and a tap – if they close they are still alive; if not they are dead and unfit for consumption.
