Summer of Seafood

 GRUV NIGHTCLUB/LOUNGE TACOMA, WASHINGTON
Who thought Summer could taste so good!  Now even though the portion of shell vs. mussel is on the opposite ends of the spectrum it is worth the time and money.  These Black Mussels are cooked in a white wine and garlic butter and toasted bread for the dipping into the delicious confection.

Crab Cakes.  Although you can put anything into them they have a couple are ingredients that are key to keep it together such as mayo, eggs and bread crumbs.  Now I love cheese so instead of bread crumbs I would use Parmigiano-Reggiano or Parmesan.  These bad boys are topped off with a chipolte remoulade which is like a french tarter sauce and almost an aioli.  Topped off with a squeeze of lemon juice and I couldn't put down my fork till the plate was clean.
