<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Half cooked seafood is ok sometimes but the reason you don't want to eat a mussel or clam that isn't fully opened is because it's been dead for a period of time previous to being cooked. Cooked mussels with opened shells mean that they were fresh and alive just before they were added to the steamer.
