1
Prepare the Mussels
Rinse the mussels under cold water to remove any sand or debris. Scrub the shells gently with a brush if necessary, and remove the beards by pulling them away from the shell.
2
Chop Aromatics
Finely chop the shallots, garlic, and parsley, setting them aside for later use.

3
Sauté Aromatics
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped shallots and garlic, sautéing until they are softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
4
Add Liquids
Pour in the white wine and fish stock, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.
5
Steam Mussels
Add the cleaned mussels to the pot. Cover with a lid and steam for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels have opened. Discard any mussels that do not open.
6
Season and Serve
Once the mussels are cooked, stir in the chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine the flavors.
