You can store this in the refrigerator if you do not cook it right away . I wouldn&#8217;t recommend to store it more than 1 day though . And then , once you&#8217;re ready to cook it , add fresh water into that bowl of mussels , and let it sit for 20-30 minutes , then remove the beard , and scrub them well . Put into a clean water bowl , and remove all the mussels that doesn&#8217;t clamp shut . If they stay opened when tapped , discard the mussel .
