Ever eat fresh water mussells

[beagle man]

been thinking about getting into eating them again, use to as a kid, my dad was always eating them on the river bank, I remember it was fun looking and digging for them, anybody ever try to transplant them to a pond?

I remember my mom would boil them for a short time and when the shell opened she would cut the mussell out and them chop it up. then put in onions and stale bread and other stuff and after she washed and cleaned the shells she would put all the fixens back in the shell and close it and bake them. sometimes she would deep fry them. man they was good or at least I remember they were.

Something's been cracking them open and eating them on our dock. I think that now that the lake is down they are easier for the critters to find. Might be a mink, have seen several of them down there.

I have eaten them smoked before, good stuff. I don't know about that raw deal...

[gatorbitu]

Never had them and I can say with confidence that I never will!

If they are anything tasting like oysters I am with Gatorbitu! But then again I said I would never eat mountain oysters either. And after doing the pig, beef and turkey moutain oysters I love them! I used to know some guys over around Preston that always told me there was nothing better than Horse mountain oysters. I have watched them eat them before cooked over a open fire.

I have never heard of anyone eating those, but it doesn't surprise me. I tried mountain oysters for the first time a year ago at my father in laws and now I love 'em! I will try about anything as long as it isn't still moving! BTW- I convinced my father in law to try Crappie ceviche.

[beagle man]

Crappie ceviche.

what the heck is that. and if you tell me eggs, they suck big time
