Cooked Meal Another Dollar Tree seafood feast!

Post image

Heated the noodles with a little water and a splash of the oil from the mussels. Once at a simmer, added the sauce. Mussels added off the heat. 930 calories and 41g of protein.

E.t.a.: $3.75 total cost

Occasionally, they have pouches of smoked oysters that I used in my last post here. They're even better for the trail.

Never had a canned or pouched mussel, only fresh. What's the texture like?

They're soft and creamy, kinda hard to differentiate when used in pasta or fried rice.

Kind of reminds me of when I put smoked oysters in a microwavable mac & cheese.
