I'm going to try this recipe with white wine instead of lemon juice.

The mussels were overcooked and the sauce was bland.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll stick to my usual mussel recipe.

I couldn't find Penn Cove mussels, so I used regular mussels. They were still good, but I think the Penn Cove mussels would have been better.

These mussels were a bit too salty for my taste, but the sauce was delicious.
