For our recipe, we've used green mussels from New Zealand. If these aren't available, any fresh mussel will do. As always, be sure to discard any mussels that don't open during steaming. Also, be sure not to over-crowd your mussels in the skillet so they have room to open. They don't take long to cook - as soon as they start to open, they're done. For your fresh ingredients, you'll find most of them near the root section of your local grocery store.
