Frozen Chile Blueshell Mussels Arkwrites 75le per 500grams.
Now these are not Helford mussels or even Loch Eriboll, but at £3.20 or £6.40 for four people it's a dirt cheap starter.
Moules Marinière.
Diced Onion
Diced Garlic
Butter
Cream
Parsley
White wine
Freshly ground S & P.
It says on the pack cook from frozen but I prefer to defrost..
Sweat onions & garlic off, bung in les moules, S&P, & a slug of wine rattle around with lid on for 2 minutes, chuck in cream....
Sprinkle with 'ripped parsley or anything green....drink more wine...
Nb: For the gourmet chef's amongst us one could then do a quick white wine reduction napping sauce.

Re: Moules Marinière. ariba ariba!
I think the Jews and Muslims know a thing or 2 about not eating bottom feeders out of the ocean.
every time I have eaten muscles I have been violently ill, to the point where I would have given my all for a handgun and a round of ammunition.
The second time I ate them was in a top class restaurant in Lecce, and I was assured that these were fresh and properly cooked, and at 40 euros a serving, not exactly cheap either.
All my companions were fine. We flew back to Rome a couple of hours later.
I spent the night at the Shangri La Corsetti hotel on viale Algeria in Rome puking my guts up and explosive diarrhoea simultaneously ( which is supposed to be impossible) for the next 24 hours..
I had 2 flights to catch the next day, the worst travelling day of my life..

I'm quite partial to muscles......cut into roasts, short ribs or steak (filet mignon, sirloin steak, rump steak, rib steak, rib eye steak, hanger steak, etc.).

Never mind eating them, at 64 I would just like the return of a couple.
