i have eaten the ones out of loch leven for years and i am still around so they cant be bad also etive is very good as pelamid says they are very gritty if you get them by sand but the ones higher up the tideline are okMussels in Loch Etive are fit to eat. They are farmed there and the wild ones are good. Try to pick the ones at the higher levels of the tideline off the rocks.
Those lower down close to sand can be very gritty.
