Moules marinières

In this classic dish, mussels are cooked in dry white wine with shallots and parsley. Popular everywhere, but especially on the coasts. As a rule, mussels are served with fries. Such mussels usually cost about 10 to 15 euros per pot. Dietary protein and an introduction to local cuisine.

In Provence, by the way, they are so fond of tomatoes that mussels are also cooked in tomato sauce made of chopped tomatoes. But in the North you’re likely to find exactly this variant. And the proximity to Belgium has an impact – there such mussels with fries are just a classic!
