A friend recommended that Mills Bay Mussels down by the marina was the place to go. In my excitement to visit the establishment I turned up an hour before they opened.

Fresh,tasty, and nicely presented with 3 dipping sauces on a board platter. I cannot recommend this place more highly, the team were almost as enjoyable as the food. Well done.
