"Wonderful Steamed Mussels. Full of flavor. A large chunk of your favorite bead is a must to soak up the beautiful broth. We have cut recipe half with no problems and I'm sure other added sea food would complement this dish. YUM!! Enjoy"

Very good. A nice change from our usual wine-steamed method. Nice addition to our Christmas Eve seafood feast.
