...not the kind Diana Ross sang about. I'm referring to the hard-shelled molluscs of the saltwater variety. I try them whenever they're on the menu. Any menu. From the classic french moules frites to nouvelle interpretations with curry and fennel...you can't go wrong. Following are some recent savorings:
~In white sauce at Vermillion, Old Towne (basic, lots of garlic) http://www.vermillionrestaurant.com/
~Moules frites in chardonnay sauce, Bolero Brasserie, Bermuda (substantially-sized, chardonnay and garlic sauce, classic)
~Steamed in unctuous yet delicate yellow curry and fennel sauce, Perry's (amazing, the sauce was the star here--we had to fight the server to leave the remainder for our bread) http://www.perrysadamsmorgan.com/
~In tomato sauce at Rosemary's Thyme (small, perhaps not so fresh, bland sauce)
~Again a basic, pureed and strained tomato sauce at Hank's Oyster bar (large, good quality mussles, sauce is simple, but good--better with a dash of Tobasco) www.hanksdc.com
