I am a former chef and there fine keep them in the frig in a bag paper or plastic and when you use them rinse them off, and like the first person said go through them to inspect for bad ones, but alot of times now with the cultivated type there is very few bad or dead ones, steam or poach, and if the do not open with 4-6 minute of cooking then toss!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
The shells should be closed!. When they become open the mussles have died, thus weaking the "mussle" that keeps them closed!.
