best results i have had in past is to bait up hook as normal with hook snood tied on and then freeze.
take them down in a wide mouthed food flask a must for every angler and take one out as you need it.
advantages no waste and bait slowly defrosts in water and it casts out great without bits flying off.
i prefer this way to fresh.

try using fox arma-mesh to make mussels into sausages works much better and also good for mixing all sorts of different baits
