Mussel size

Here in northern California I believe the best muscle size for harvestingare about as big as my pointer finger and my middle finger not too small to have a good flavor and not too big so as their tuff.
Comments please

I usually harvest mussels that are longer than my pinky and shorter than my pointer finger. I have pretty bug hands though. Anything smaller isn't worth the work. Anything larger is tougher and has an undesirable flavor.

Eiboh, to avoid confusion, use the muscles in your pointer finger to click on "modify" in your post, and change "muscle" to "mussel" in the subject and body of the post.

My chef buddy likes the 3” size, the ones in the restaurant seem small and yes, the big ones are dang fishy...
