Note

If you are opening the mussels and taking out the flesh without steaming you have to dry off the water, when you steam and take out the mussel there wont be water to dry out
Clean the black dirt from the bottom of the mussel
Mussels are naturally little salty, so be careful while adding salt to your dish
