Done with frozen black mussels which is never as good as fresh
(not available here).
This is traditional Belgian fare.
The broth (under all the shellfish) is done with garlic, onions,
sauteed with a large knob of butter and olive oil until
translucent, followed by celery and leek.
I added white wine which is optional. You can add water if there
is not enough broth to generate steam for cooking the mussels.
