The vile things. Here is a video of some of the old boat dock we removed from the lake in Canada. It is covered with Zebra Mussels, which are a nuisance if not downright hazardous.
When Eliza was swimming, she cut her leg fairly deeply, into the subcutaneous fat layer on some Zebra Mussels attached to a rock. Therefore, war has been declared on Zebra Mussels, much to the delight of the local fish population. I broke many off of the rocks around the dock and the fish came in and eat up anything they could.
This is the remains of the old crib dock upside down in the water before we removed it:

This is why invasive species are bad.

Hope you like eating mussels!
Joe, I don’t think you can eat Zebra Mussels, although I have never tried. I imagine they would be kind of tough and taste like mud, they are also small, so it would be a lot of work to get any meaning full amount.
