Classic French Mussel Recipe – Moules Marinière with White Wine and Garlic Butter Sauce

Although this dish is typically French it is probably a more consistent feature on the dining tables of the northeastern region of the country. The beauty of a mussel recipe like this is that the mussels (or 'moules' in French) are served absolutely fresh.

Mussels are harvested all along the French coast and then shipped alive to local fishmongers. There they are bought (alive) taken home cleaned and prepared according to this simple but stunning recipe and enjoyed by all who are lucky enough to be there.

To enjoy this dish it is important that you do the same. By that I mean buy only the freshest live mussels from your local trusted fishmonger.
