Although it might look like mussels are harvested from the fountain at the Palm Beach Plaza Mall in the photo, in reality they are flown in, dripping wet, from Zeeland in the South of Holland and the north of Belgium. The mussel season has started on Aruba, with Taste of Belgium Restaurant being the first to offer this healthy delicacy, which is chockfull of vitamins and minerals.
The mussels are served in three ways: in beer (cooked in Stella Artois and served with three sauces, French fries and a salad) for $ 34.50, in white wine (cooked in Chardonnay and served with three sauces, French fries and a salad) for $ 32.50 and as a Chef’s Special (cooked in your choice of Belgian beer and served with French fries, garlic bread, three sauces and a choice of mixed vegetables or a salad) for $ 48.50.
Mussel lovers will be overjoyed that it’s that time of the year again.
As the season is always shorter than you might think, go to Taste of Belgium right away and enjoy!
