Mussel Preparation

One hot Monday afternoon room 15 and room 14 went to the staff room, to prepare mussels and pipis. They were alive before we cooked them. We were touching the shells and feeling its smooth and shiny texture. At first they smelt like salt water and after a while we got used to it. The colours varied - some were orange and some were white. After we cooked the mussels, we discovered something interesting hiding inside - a tiny little parasite crab. The mussels tasted really yummy but some people didn't enjoy it because it tasted slimy.
