YUM! YUM! YUM! these mussels were sooo delicious! the sauce is perfect with them; I used fish sauce and used splenda instead of the sugar, about half of the amount called for; the BBQ is not working so I did them in the oven at 450f degrees for about 6 minutes. Served them with a seeded bagette, sliced and toasted for dipping into the wonderful zippy sauce as an appetizer before lunch for a friend. i will definately be making them again, thanks for posting Tebo!!!
