These mussels were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time. Otherwise, the dish was very good. The mussels were cooked perfectly and the broth was flavorful.

I've made this dish several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The mussels are always tender and juicy, and the broth is flavorful and aromatic. I like to add a bit of chopped parsley to the broth before serving for a pop of color and freshness.

This was a great recipe! The mussels were cooked perfectly and the broth was flavorful and aromatic. I served them with some crusty bread to soak up all the delicious sauce. It was a hit with my family and friends.

This dish was okay. The mussels were cooked well, but the broth was a bit too tart for my liking. I think I'll add a bit of sugar to the broth next time.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The mussels were tough and the broth was bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
