While there are few substitutes for eating a bowl of fresh wild mussels on the Brittany Coast, it is so so easy to re-create this amazingly armonious appetiser ..

2 Kilos of fresh mussels
2 tablesps of fresh parsley
1 cup dry white wine
2 garlic cloves
1 shallot or onion (small)
3 tablesps olf 82% fat French or French styled butter or Evoo
Water
A baguette for dipping

While the shallot or onion & garlic sliced finely in longitude are saute-íng in the butter (one can also use Evoo) approx 5 minutes, stir the parsley and then add a sprinkle of sea salt and the wine and water (3 tablesps).  Then add the mussels checking frequently - approx 4 to 5 minutes at most .. 

Discard any mussels that do not open.  

Serve in a large bowl divided amongst 2 to 4 people and serve with the same white wine that you cooked the mussels in and with a baguette for dipping. 

Simply divine ..
