FOUND 'EM! Chez Bryce on Davis Islands had them on the menu last night, and since it bills itself as a classic French bistro kind of spot, I'm betting they're a mainstay. SO had them and thought the mussels were great, fries (seasoned with rosemary and parmesan) a bit cold but other wise very good, too. www.chezbryce.com. Hope you check it out!

Thanks! Again, I was really hoping for a place to go out and eat them as a treat for both of us. Out of the house, no cooking, no cleanup etc.
It was a Belgian place that we ate them at in Paris - Clichy's Tavern down the street from the Moulin Rouge. Lots of Belgian eateries, and they all hald moules-frites! Mmmm ....

Moules-frites is a classic Belgian dish with mussels steamed in white wine and fresh herbs with a side of “Belgian fries” that are twice deep-fried french fries. I don’t believe you will find this dish in restaurants here in the Tampa Bay area. Steamed mussels are easily done at home and you can add your favorite french fries for a semi-authentic Moules-frites.

I'm positive I could make it, but the intent was for a night out. I usually do all of the cooking, and so it's nice for me to sometimes get a night off. Too bad for me. I've seen mussels around quite a bit living in Fl most of my life, but not prepared that way.
