So, I had the exact same question when I was shopping for mussels at Whole Foods. The guy behind the seafood counter told me that black mussels are sweeter and more tender than the larger, meatier green-lipped mussels… and I totally agree! I made this for my mom during the holidays and she was amazed at how I got the mussels to be so tender. I told her it’s because she’s just used to the more commercial green-lipped mussels. If you haven’t cooked with black mussels before, definitely give it a try and let me know what you think! Hi Toni! So, I had the exact same question when I was shopping for mussels at Whole Foods.

I want to make this recipe, but i was at the grocery store the other day and they only had green-lipped mussels. Can I substitute them for black mussels…whats the difference?
