Enjoy a hearty plate of mussels during your next trip to Costas Inn.
When out at a seafood restaurant, you shouldn’t forget to order a round of delicious mussels. Mussels are increasingly popular as appetizers at a variety of seafood restaurants. However, many people who may wish to try this tasty seafood snack might be a bit intimidated by their appearance. Knowing how to best enjoy your mussels and maximize their flavor is crucial to enjoying a mussels dish. Before you visit Costas Inn to order a plate of mussels, remember these tips for savoring these treats.
Mussels In Garlic Butter
Sometimes, the best way to enjoy a delicious plate of mussels is to make sure that your mussels are drenched in luxurious flavor. At Costas Inn, we serve a hearty plate of mussels covered in garlic butter and served with parmesan breadsticks to soak up the extra flavor on your plate. This aromatic type of butter, and its inherent saltiness, really helps boost the flavor of the mussels so you can savor every bite.
Cooking at Home? A Tight Fitting Lid Is Key
If you are eager to try cooking mussels at home, a tight-fitting lid on your pot is essential. Make sure that you have a pot large enough to fill with hot water and a tight-fitting lid that contains the heat and lets your mussels sweat and steam until they open up. Cooking mussels actually only takes a few minutes once the heat is at its peak. This makes a plate of mussels a tasty and relatively easy seafood dish to make at home when you want to treat your family to awesome flavors.
Preparing the Dish Matters
Ultimately, there is nothing more important than enjoying your seafood dish when you’re out at a restaurant or taking care to cook the dish at your own home. Knowing how to prepare mussels correctly, and serve them with the appropriate flavors, can guarantee that you always enjoy a plate of mussels as much as possible.
