Mussels can be found living in most of the waterways. The diminutive mussel meats, which may be cream-colored to dark orange, are delicately sweet and are usually steamed and served in their attractive shells, baked with a crumb topping, or used in salads or cooked dishes. Long a favorite food in Europe, these mollusks are growing quickly in popularity with Americans.

Most freshwater mussels live burrowed in sand and gravel at the bottom of rivers and streams. Living mussels are a favored source of food for many mammals. Cooked mussels are a popular seafood item for people. Sometimes, nothing beats a nice home cooked seafood meal shared with your friends or loved ones.
