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.

This dish was way too salty! I would recommend using less salt next time.

The mussels were not cleaned properly and there was a lot of grit in them. I would recommend cleaning the mussels more thoroughly next time.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more herbs and spices to the broth.

The mussels were a bit overcooked, but the broth was still delicious. I would recommend cooking the mussels for a shorter amount of time next time.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less chili flakes if you don't like spicy food.
