  I made this for a special valentines dinner for myself and the boyfriend. I made sure that I bought the finest mussels from my local fish monger and spent ages scrubbing and de-bearding them. It's a very easy, simple dish to make, however I am never sure how to slice the fennel bulb so it came out a bit chunky and slightly overpowered the whole dish. I also threw in some scallops that I had frozen. I did 3 courses, so this is a perfect seafood dish which is light and leaves plenty of room for desert!
