The Cannery's Mussels image

I haven't cooked this recipe (I've had it though), but found a postcard tucked in a cookbook with the recipe on it; I got the postcard when I dined at The Cannery in Vancouver BC back in 1979. I don't even know if the restaurant is still there! We had these as an appetizer then, but it could also be a main course for 2.

These mussels were absolutely delicious! The white wine and garlic sauce was flavorful and the mussels were cooked perfectly. I served them with a side of crusty bread and a glass of Chardonnay. It was a perfect meal!
