Posh restuarants could sell the little blighters on a prop shaped dish ......go down a storm in Bray

I tried that with some thames mussels. They may have been okay, but the gag reflex kicked in and I couldn't go through with it!

Seriously folks, are they edible?

 

[Actionmat]

Edible, but not recommended due to any toxins they may have stored and only the size of a thumbnail, despite a 3 to 5 year lifespan.

They understood to be in the Wraysbury reservoir . Sounds as if should be of concern to Thames boaters as reported that they can smother boat hulls. I wonder if they will stop some of the speeding ?
