The delicious juicy gifts of the sea - mussels and squid - are an exquisite addition to any table. When choosing mussels or squid that are not frozen, you should pay attention to their freshness.
They must look fresh, have no unpleasant smell and be from a store where you have bought seafood another time and you are satisfied.
Frozen products must be in packaging that is not damaged - even the slightest tear will damage the quality of the products. If there is a lot of snow in the envelope, it means that the seafood has been thawed and then frozen once more. Avoid buying such products.
Frozen mussels and squid should get from the store to your freezer as quickly as possible. And when you decide to use them, first defrost them, wash them and cook them immediately. Do not re-freeze.
Fresh mussels and squid are stored in the refrigerator for no more than three days, if covered with a damp cloth. But this only applies to uncleaned mussels and squid. If they have already been cleaned, store in the refrigerator for no more than a day and a half.
When buying unpeeled mussels, choose only those with a tightly closed shell. Those whose shells are dissolved should be discarded.
When buying squid, choose medium in size, with pure white meat and a delicate aroma. Fresh squid should be washed only before cleaning.
If you bought fresh mussels or squid, and want to store them in the freezer, open the mussel shells and wash them with cold water. Then dry them and freeze them on a tray so that the mussels do not stick to each other.
Then take them out of the freezer and distribute them in envelopes. The squid is cleaned and frozen, arranged in a tray, then distributed in pairs in an envelope.
