W thought this was great! Even my son, who does not like tomatoes thought it was terrific. I strongly recomend Maine mussels for this. The sauce was terrific with crusty bread for dipping.08/18/09

I was really disappointed with this recipe. Especially with the ingredients in it I had high hopes. (Dill and feta) I doubled the broth, hoping it would be good enough to dip fresh bread in it. Overall, it lacked flavor. It definitely needed salt and I don't know what else. I will just try one of their many other mussel recipes.08/13/09
