From the pristine Atlantic waters off the coast of Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island mussels are known for their jet-black shells and sweet flavor. Simply steam in olive oil, garlic, and dry white wine or cook in a zesty marinara sauce. It’s quick and easy. A few friends, a steaming plate of PEI mussels, some crusty Italian bread, and a bottle (or two) of wine. There are few better ways to spend an evening.
