THE CANNERY'S MUSSELS



The Cannery's Mussels image

I haven't cooked this recipe (I've had it though), but found a postcard tucked in a cookbook with the recipe on it; I got the postcard when I dined at The Cannery in Vancouver BC back in 1979. I don't even know if the restaurant is still there! We had these as an appetizer then, but it could also be a main course for 2.

Tips:

  • Choose Fresh Mussels: Opt for mussels that are tightly closed and have a briny, fresh smell. Avoid any mussels with cracked or open shells.
  • Proper Cleaning: Clean the mussels thoroughly before cooking. Use a stiff brush to remove any dirt or debris from the shells. Remove the beard (a small tuft of fibers) by pulling it out gently.
  • Cooking Methods: Mussels can be cooked in various ways, including steaming, boiling, baking, or sautéing. Steaming is a popular method as it preserves the natural flavor and tenderness of the mussels.
  • Cooking Time: The cooking time for mussels is generally short, usually around 5-7 minutes. Overcooking can make them tough, so keep an eye on them to avoid this.
  • Seasoning: Feel free to experiment with different seasonings and sauces to enhance the flavor of the mussels. Popular options include white wine, garlic, herbs, butter, and lemon juice.
  • Serving Suggestions: Mussels can be served as an appetizer or main course. Pair them with crusty bread, pasta, or roasted vegetables for a satisfying meal.

Mussels are a versatile and delicious seafood option that can be enjoyed in a variety of dishes.
