Rhine mussels steamed in white wine with onion, celery, leek and parsley. Served in the deep pot, with crusty bread and cold Kölsch, from September through April.
Cologne's position on the Rhine made river and coastal seafood a historical part of the city's diet, and the Rhenish tradition of cooking mussels in Mosel or Rheingau Riesling persists in Brauhäusern. The mussel season runs September to April (months with an R in German), tied to North Sea and Belgian-Dutch coastal harvests delivered overnight by truck. Peters Brauhaus and Brauerei zur Malzmühle plate the canonical version with rye bread for soaking the broth.
