Although I'm pretty adventurous with food, can't say I've tried zebra mussels. What do you say we boil it with onion and ginger for taste then throw it on the grill over beer.

O-Ring,
Is that why they call us Mid-Atlantic bottom feeders?

I'm a big fan of mussels (moules) but from waters where they don't accumulate nasty things...
I hear the Zebra mussels are largely responsible for the removal of lots of polutants - I'd be a bit skeptical eatin' 'em 'til I had a few samples run through a lab & checked for nasties like dioxins & such.

OP
I thought it sounded pretty nasty if they are really planning to eat them...I mean I know they are worried about the zebra population, but aren't there other options than eating them?
Dunno...I don't think I am eating them...Divernva might...I suppose I would if you brought lots of beer..

Let us know more! We've got more than a few of 'em up here. Wonder if they're tolerable? Don't think you could grill 'em, though. Damned things would keep falling through and landing on the charcoal.

1. With a paint scraper, chisel, or somebody else's dive knife, scrape zebra mussels off the rocks of your favorite quarry, the bottom of your boat, or from the inside of a ballast tank from an overseas commercial freighter.
2. During the next surface interval, age the zebra mussels under the seat of your dive buddy's car . While he's not looking, for best effect.
3. Go out and buy bagels from a bagel store, a turkey (fresh if possible), tomatoes, onions, sharp cheddar cheese, and hot mustard. Roast the turkey for 6 - 8 hours, and slice breast meat. Slice the onions and tomato, toast the bagel, spread mustard, and melt the cheese over the still-warm turkey. Combine into the best sandwich you ever had. Eat with coffee or beer; repeat as desired.
