I was told they were nasty to eat. Although, they couldn't be any worse than that Old Milwaukee my buddy drinks...yuck!
Are those mussels any good to eat? I know the raccoons such do like them.
Growing up in No. MN and No. WI, we tried them numerous ways when we were teens.
As many here on Pond Boss know, I like a lot of crazy foods. I'm kind of like TV's Andrew Zimmern of Bizzare Foods.
I will say that I've never found a satisfactory way of fixing fresh water shellfish from Minnesota or Wisconsin -- and I even eat lutefisk!
If anybody has a good recipe, like beer battered freshwater clams, using Fitgers, Old Milwaukee, Grainbelt, Hamms ..., etc., please send it as a recipe for inclusion on the cooking page of Pond Boss Magazine!
