Simple, Tasty Steamed Mussels

We are big seafood fans and always enjoy fresh shellfish as an appetizer or even a main course. Mussels used to have a questionable reputation and if you did not know where they came from and how old they were you had to be careful. But, today, with strict regulations, aquaculture and the trend toward farm to table supply chains, the mussels you get at seafood shop will be just fine. And, if you are out cruising in a pristine area where mussels grow on the rocks, you might be able to harvest a meal of wild mussels at low tide. Here’s a simple, tasty way to prepare steamed mussels from the cooks at finecooking.com.
