Stuffed or fried mussels are a great after night snack Stuffed mussels are steamed with rice and while fried mussels are deep fried and served with tartar sauce. They are not same with Belgium or Greek Mussels and completely unique to Turkey and you better try
What to try ?
Stay away from street sellers and go for he shops.Also do not eat many stuffed mussels on hot summer days as mussels can grow bacteria
Usually stuffed mussels are opened by the servant and fresh lemon is squezed. If not I advise you to squeze lemon on it.
Get one and taste it before you order more.
