3. Like a Sailor
As it turns out, mussels were commonly eaten on board fisherman ships in Normandy years ago. These days they’re widely farmed commercially with no guilt since they’re one of the few farmed fish products that are actually beneficial for the environment in which they’re cultivated. That said, there’s no reason why you can’t go all fisherman-of-yore on them and sauté them on the stovetop with some fresh herbs and a cup or two of your favorite hard cider, grog or beer. And, just like they did on those big ships yesteryear, serve with mussels and sauce poured on top of a hunk of bread or two.
