I was watching the latest episode of Man vs. Wild last night and he was in Hell's Canyon, on the Snake River. It was beautiful country. He found a large patch of fresh water mussels and cooked up a bunch. He claimed they were good. Now, I know this guy, (Bear Grylls) is a little over the top. I've seen him eat live snakes and week old sheep carcasses, for the sake of dramatics, of course.
A guy at work tried some fresh water mussels out of the Cowichan River a number of years back. He said they tasted like mud and had the texture of an old tire.
Has anyone else tried fresh water mussels?
What river were they from?
What time of year did you harvest?
What was your opinion?
Thanks in advance for your responses.
