Mussels Take Center Stage in New Recipes and Restaurant Menus

Chef Giorgos Tsoulis shares a detailed linguine with mussels recipe that combines fresh mussels steamed in white wine with a garlic‑tomato sauce, bacon, thyme and chili. The dish is described as light yet richly flavored, suitable for both weeknight meals and special occasions.

Several U.S. seafood chains highlight their own mussel offerings. Chart House serves a traditional Steamed Mussels Marinière with shallots, white wine, garlic butter and grilled baguette. The Boiling Crab offers Cajun‑spiced steamed mussels, while Legal Sea Foods prepares organic Prince Edward Island mussels in a garlic‑butter white‑wine broth. The selections emphasize varied regional flavors and simple preparation methods.
