I wanted to make a small seafood dinner for myself--something different I haven't tried before. For instance, I enjoy eating mussels, but I have never prepared them at home. After researching cooking and pairing tips, I was ready to make a delicious dish.
I visited this large Publix supermarket at Shoppers Haven Shopping Center. Clean with fully-stocked organized aisles, the supermarket offers the standard departments like a full-service deli, bakery, fresh produce, floral section, pharmacy, and seafood & meat counter. It also features a second-floor eating area.
While in the seafood department, I spotted a $5.99 box of mussels already prepared in a butter white wine sauce. Wanting to pair the mussels with a nice salad, I walked to the produce section to look at their pre-packaged salads. A variety of salads was available. One particular brand had a BOGO sale, but I didn't need two. I decided on a salad mix of baby spinach, carrots, red cabbage, dried cranberries, bacon crumbles, and a packet of Dijon vinaigrette.
Lastly, I went to the bakery for a small loaf of bread to toast and dip into the butter sauce. The bakery employee was nice enough to sell me a single loaf from a pre-packaged pack. Checkout was quick. I may return to this location when necessary. read more
