Mussels are a steal compared to most fresh seafood options, and cook in practically no time at all—a weeknight dinner dream. Be sure to buy rope-grown mussels, which require a lot less cleaning and are virtually free of grit, and always check each individual bivalve to make sure it's closed tightly before cooking—it's a little tedious, but one dead mussel will ruin the whole pot.
