An old favourite from Alfredo’s Restaurant in Morecambe, Plump fresh mussels in a tomato broth, flavoured with garlic, fennel, and wine
This was and still is one of our preferred ways to cook mussels, we first had it in this way in 1973 while on our honeymoon in Cala Millor, Mallorca
When we went to live and work at The Willow Tree Restaurant in Bolton-le-Sands we found that Alfredo’s restaurant in Morecambe offered a similar dish and it is one of the most delicious ways to serve one of our much-loved shellfish, there are of course many more ways to cook this delectable offering of the sea’s bounty and we have included plenty of them in our collection of recipes.
