• Choose fresh and quality mussels. Make sure they are tightly closed before cooking them.
  
• Before cooking the mussels, soak them in lightly salted cold water for about 30 minutes to help them get rid of the sand.
  
• Add aromatic vegetables such as onions, shallots, garlic, and celery to give more flavor to the sauce.

• Don't forget to add quality white wine to give a delicate flavor to the sauce. Choose a wine that you enjoy drinking, as it will be reflected in the final taste of the recipe.
