A different presentation but Mark's Place has some really good mussels. They are not available every day.

Natalie,
I’m gonna’ glom on with the others who have suggested Marks for incredibly good mussels. I was amazed at the quality, the quantity, the price but mostly, the incredible broth they’re served in. We always enjoyed Marks but never really thought about them for mussels but they’ve become our go to for that meal as of our last two or three trips. And I know the typical accompaniment for mussels is frites but this is one place that will give you all the bagette you want to go with that yummy broth. We surely take advantage of that fact.
Respectfully,
pat

Cote Plage is GREAT, regardless of what you eat there.. Ditto that.. Thursday is mussel night. Try the blue cheese preparation if offered.

What day is the best to find them on the menu ? At Mark’s I think it is Tuesday and Thursday but it may vary due to when they arrive and how many are sold on a given night. We went to Mark's for dinner twice over an 11 day span in Nov. and they did not have them either time but neither were the days I mentioned. Mark's Place number is 721-543-2625, I would call ahead to be sure and maybe even ask they hold an order for you.

Regardless what and where from they come from, it’s how and what they are cooked in that make all the difference. Yes to a large extent, but different mussels will have different tastes and texture.
