those are really beautiful. I love to eat/prepare mussels, that's why I asked about the beard. I always de-beard prior to cooking and it's a bit of a pain because you really have to tear at them and I feel bad knowing they're still alive. I usually prepare them with some white wine and garlic too. Delicious!!
