I really enjoy tomato based broth with my mussles. Served this up to Sister's In Law family with 3 young boys and my two daughters. Every mussel was devoured. As a twist, I strained some of the broth, reduced it slightly and hit it with a bit of heavy cream. Sauce also a huge hit. The fennel provides great flavor - I passed on Pernod as my spouse is not a fan. Excellent results.

Served last night with crusty bread. Very good. Where the recipe calls for 1 cup Pernod or white wine to deglaze pan, I used white wine, then used the 2 tbs Pernod later in the dish. Also, I used a can of San Marzano tomatoes and crushed them with my hands before adding. Thewhole house smelled wonderful.

I always wanted to make mussels like I order in the restaurants and this allowed me to do just that. I skipped the Pernod as I am not a fan of anise, but it turned out great. I really like broth for bread dipping so I would double the recipe next time.

I always steam my mussels in white wine or beer. We wanted to do something different and tried this recipe. It is fabulous! I made pommes frites and served them with aioli, remoulade and curried ketchup. Everyone loved both the mussels and the pommes frites.
I would sautee the fennel a little longer than it says - maybe almost 10 minutes, to get it soft.
