The image shows a plate of mussels on a white plate with a checkered tablecloth. The mussels are black in color and appear to be freshly cooked. They are arranged in a pile on the plate, with some overlapping each other. Some of the mussels have their shells open, revealing their pink flesh inside. The plate is filled to the brim with the mussel shells, and there is a small amount of sauce or sauce on top. The background is blurred, but it appears to be a kitchen countertop.
