The most common recipe for mussels is Moules Mariniere, a delicious French dish that is quick and easy to cook – it brings out the rich shellfish flavour in a quick shallot and white wine stock. Use mussels as a garnish or in sauces for fish dishes. If cooked properly, the flesh should be soft, succulent and full of flavour.
