Salt Spring Island Mussels

I recently found that Oakridge got a great fish market that has salt spring island mussels on sale for $4.49 per lb.

Hence, I decided to make use of my new 12″ All-Clad Chef’s Pan to steam white wine mussel.  The recipe I decide to use is from William Sonomas: http://www.williams-sonoma.com/recipe/mussels-a-la-mariniere-steamed-mussels.html.

This recipe is easy and the materials are readily available in most fridges.  The picture below uses News Zealand Greenshell Mussels but Salt Spring Isl. Mussel is much juicier! For the white wine, I am using Jackson-Triggs Esprit Sauvignon Blanc for it’s price (BC $10.99) and lemon-like flavor.

EDIT: Salt Spring Island Mussel is “Mediterranean Mussels”
