A steaming black pot of mussels cooked with celery, onion and white wine, served with a cone of crisp frites and mayonnaise. The Belgian national plate, at its best on the North Sea coast.
Mussels and frites became the everyday Belgian feast in the 19th and 20th centuries, when cheap, abundant mussels from the North Sea and Zeeland beds met the country's frites obsession. Mussel season runs from summer into winter, marked on menus across Bruges. The classic preparation, moules nature, steams them with aromatics and white wine, though kitchens also offer them in cream, beer or garlic. Breydel-De Coninck on Breidelstraat built its reputation on seven mussel preparations, all served with frites.
