eli5 why are mussels considered healthy even though they filter dirty water

391 views

Mussels and clams are considered to be very healthy. However their natural ‘job’ is cleaning seawater. Considering all the pollution in the oceans which is filtered by the mussels, how can they still be healthy and not be considered dirty or even toxic ?

Who says their healthy?
They are typically served in an insane amount of butter.
I have eaten them many times, never have I heard or considered them healthy.
