If you store them right, you can keep mussels in your fridge for 3-4 days. Put the live mussels in a bowl or on a tray. Don't keep them in a closed container or a sealed plastic bag. They need to be in an open container in order to breathe. Cover the container with a damp cloth or paper towel to help them retain moisture without smothering them. Don't add extra water to the container or you could kill them. If you want to keep them chilled, you can put a zipper-top bag of ice on top of the mussels underneath the cloth or paper towel. Keep the mussels in a place where they won't be able to leak or drip on other food items in your fridge such as the bottom shelf, which is usually the coldest part. You can keep them there for up to 4 days, but pour out any liquid each day to keep your mussels fresh and healthy for as long as possible.
