    YUM!!! When I was living in NZ, the Green-Lipped mussels were almost embarrassingly cheap. And this company (can't remember the name) made these marinated mussels that were shucked and put into a light pickle. They were just delicious. Virtually every restaurant worth a damn always had mussels in a garlic and white wine sauce. Served with a house-made baguette and butter.

      Oh wow, I'd love to try those pickled fellas :)

    Hi Papp.
    Mmmmmussles! 🤤
    Now this is something different from your regular reviews. I'm glad you decided to review this.
    They look absolutely delicious.
    Way better than oysters (shell boogers), and better than clams.
    I'd never had mussels before having them at the Port Fitzroy boaties club, Great Barrier Island, New Zealand, way back in my early 20's.
    They were bbq'd a dozen for $5 and I went back for a second serve, 24 mussels in total and about.....so many bottles of beer. Ever since then I've been hooked on anything mussels and often add them to a pizza. Too bad they make my gout flare up, but I'm willing to sacrifice the pain occasionally.
    Nice find at a great price.
    Cheers John 👍😀

    Yum!... 😋 You know me and Seafood Papp... I absolutely love the stuff... I guess that with the weight of the actual product being 450g... Once the Mussel Shells and the Garlic Butter Sauce are taken into consideration... The weight of the Mussel meat itself won't be all that high really... But it's certainly convenient having it as a boil in the bag product... Personally i don't cook Mussels very often... I usually eat them cold with Malt Vinegar... But the ones i normally get... Are the Asda Frozen Mussels 400g for £3.50... They're precooked and shelled Mussels... That have been flash frozen in a protective ice glaze... Simply remove the amount needed from the resealable pack... And defrost them in the fridge for eight hours first... The other Mussels i buy... Are the Chilled Asda Tasty Cooked Mussels... 150g for £1.50... But the one that's closest to the Lidl Mussels you tried here Papp... Are their Asda Rich Roasted Garlic Butter Rope-Grown Scottish Mussels... 500g for £3.00... And are also M&S Taste Matched... The only other one that they offer... Is their Asda Fresh Rope-Grown Live Scottish Mussels... 1kg for £3.00... So with this larger 1kg pack... It'll be ideal for serving a meal for between two and three people at a time... 👌 Many thanks for the review Papp... It's very much appreciated my friend... All the very best... Cheers mate. 🍺

      @@Papparoni 😂 No worries mate... But i did notice that Asda currently have the Whitby Seafoods Scampi 370g for £3.25... Down from £4.50... So if Scampi is your thing too Papp... I would grab a couple of bags to pop in your freezer while they're so cheap pal... 👌 Cheers Papp. 🍺
