Mussels are a favorite among seafood lovers in Baku and are served in two main ways. The first is stuffed mussels, where the shell is filled with spiced rice. The second is sauteed mussels cooked in white wine, garlic, tomato or butter sauce. In both cases the mussels are served in their shells and eaten by hand. The taste is briny, light and fragrant. Bread is placed alongside so you can soak up the sauce. Mussels cook quickly, so freshness matters a great deal. Price is usually counted per piece or per portion, which is worth checking first.
