We love good food, especially fish and seafood. For a week we've been camping with kids who only want meat and chips, and maybe the occasional barbecue sausage. Already yesterday we had crazy cravings for seafood. But how easy is it to find fresh fish and shellfish on a Monday?
Importation of shellfish
So we made a raid today. At Coop we found salmon pâté and mussels and at Hemköp we found prawns. The shrimps were unfortunately old (we will return them tomorrow) but the mussels tasted wonderful! Here is our new recipe (a combination of a recipe on Tasteline and memories from Canada):
You will need
A net of mussels, an onion, a clove of garlic, 4 dl of white wine, 2 dl of cooking cream, a few tomatoes and some parsley.
Do the following
Rinse the mussels and discard those that do not close. Finely chop the onion and garlic and fry in butter in a pan. Add the wine and the mussels. Cook on high heat under a lid for about 2 minutes, until the mussels have opened. Remove the mussels and place them in a deep plate. Pour the cream and chopped tomatoes into the saucepan. Bring to the boil and pour the liquid into the plates. Sprinkle with parsley.

You forgot the wine with the mussels, which is what you drink with such a luxury meal when you are on holiday;-)

BP, haha yes it's true... the wine is an important accompaniment! We like New Zealand white wine, so it's a Stoneleigh.

Here we have the same love for fish and shellfish. However, Mats is more in favour of mussels than me. I like scallops very much. Not to mention the prawns. Too bad they were bad. Me, Marianne no longer eats any dark meat, so there is a lot of fish in our house. But it's never wrong. A wonderful recipe that we thank you for. 3 M

Seniors Speculate, great to hear that more people are enjoying seafood! Scallops are good, we ate a lot of them when we were in Canada (Halifax). They seemed to have plenty of it, so we had it several times as a main course, in gratin or stew.
