rkacruiser Posted September 28, 2010 #1 Share Posted September 28, 2010 While visiting Charlottetown, I would like to sample some of the mussels for which this area is well known. I would appreciate recommendations where I could order an appetizer sized portion of these delicacies. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PEI location closed up last year, they are now in NYC. You can try Lobster on the Wharf or Water Prince Corner shop which are both near the cruise dock. You can probably get them in just about any restaurant in Charlottetown for that matter. I usually just prepare them at home but I'm sure some others have some experiences they could share.

YXU AC*SE Posted September 29, 2010 #4 Share Posted September 29, 2010 The PEI location closed up last year... Now that is disappointing. Their Summerside location was best -- with the picnic tables. I see that's closed too ... crap. I make a Wilbur version, with Pernod, anise seed, shallots, green onions and a bit of fish stock at home -- a recipe I happily adapted from them. Scott.

maryann ns Posted September 29, 2010 #5 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Any restaurant that has them would be fine for mussels as they a basically steamed for a few minutes. Of course they are better if steamed with wine or beer with some herbs, etc. Most places do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
