Mussels in Garlic Wine Butter

Mussels in Garlic Wine Butter, teamed up with this delectable sauce and a hint of lemon are quick, and easy to make and a wonderful treat for anyone that loves shellfish.

This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal and for a seafood lover as a starter appetizer or as a whole meal with the addition of cooked pasta, rice, or even alongside a chopped salad.

We are huge fans of this buttery wine and garlicky liquid that pools around these mussels and with a big chunk of garlic Italian bread to sop up this marvelous juice it's a total sailor's delight.

Along with a squeeze of lemon on top, this shellfish is one show-stopping gourmet-tasting dish especially when hosting a dinner party and so impressive.

If you love shellfish you may also like to try Julia Child's Coquilles Saint Jacques which is another family seafood dish but made with scallops.

We often make this mussels dish as an appetizer especially around the Christmas Eve Holiday when we celebrate the Feast of 7 Fishes.

Seafood Medley

This "Seafood Medley" is bursting with buttery sauce and fish from the sea.

I love to make a big pot of assorted seafood and pour this delicious sauce it simmers in over a favorite cooked pasta like angel hair or linguine.

If you're more of a mild white fish lover and not shellfish, try adding your favorite like flounder or grouper.

We are lucky here in Florida to be able to surf fish at the beach early in the morning and get a fresh catch on our lucky days to have for dinner.

Whenever you live, you can use any kind of fish in this delicate, fresh seafood sauce.

I love haddock or codfish, but that's a Northern fish, and I try to buy it whenever available here and most of the time it's frozen.

I have used wahoo, grouper, Mahi, and even some salmon, so there's no right or wrong kind to use, just use whatever you prefer!

This dish is great during Lent, Fish Friday, Christmas Eve on any Catholic meatless holiday menu.
