Steamed mussels – Hank’s Oyster Bar

Steamed mussels - Hank's Oyster Bar
Tomato and garlic seasonal preparation. $15
Hank’s Oyster Bar, Washington DC

Ugh, the mussels had too much grit! It was afraid of chipping my teeth halfway through the bowl. They definitely need to clean these mussels better. The tomato garlic broth was simple and delicious though. And the mussels were larger and more plump than some of the others I’ve had in DC.

Finally, I found small, delicious oysters from the West Coast in DC! These were delicious especially since all I’ve encountered are the medium to large East Coast oyster which I don’t like very much. They tasted clean and briny and were perfect!
