The market. I've no idea of their provenance.

Cracking looking mussels [emoji106] do you know what you paid for them per kilo?

They were very good quality to be fair. Only a couple of duffers in the whole 1kg bag.
£7 per kilo. Seemed cheap to me but I've very rarely bought them. Hopefully they were from our shores but you never know these days.

I used to collect mussels from underneath the concrete boardwalk along the tidal Wear in Sunderland. Never found a dead prostitute.

Interesting, honesty box here sells them them at just over a pound a kilo, raw! Rope grown, seems a sustainable venture, it’s farming but they feed themselves, quite like the process that mussel farmers have developed to give us a healthy food.

That's done it, it's my turn to cook at our kids today. Mussels it is.

Are they good cooked in white wine too, dead prostitutes?

I forgot to mention, after initial  sauteing an additional glaze of chicken stock, tomato puree, basil and oregano is stirred in and well mixed prior to baking.
