When cleaning shellfish always discard any with damaged shells as these may give you problems. Similarly throw away any that are gaping open or that do not shut firmly when tapped with the back of a knife. For mussels you need to remove the beard. Holding the mussel in one hand grab hold of the beard with the other and pull it up towards the hinge of the mussel – it should pull out. Rinse mussels and clams under cold water (never leave them covered as they will drown) and scrub them with a brush if they are particularly dirty.
