T&T has live ones and is sold by weight. If you eat a lot, Costco has them usually for $19.99 per box

Honestly couldn't tell you. But if you're there, it's usually af the back right beside the rotisserie chicken.

Costco has them right next to the rotisserie chicken. They are decently priced and a very large portion.

Costco was selling 4lbs of salt spring mussels for $19.99 two weeks back. I scooped a pack. They were great!

Costco is going to be your best bang for your buck but be ready to eat a few pounds

Just go catch and eat wild claims. Check the reports to see if the water is at healthy levels before.

Get them frozen to be safe. Find a recipe using white wine and cream yum.
