In conjunction with the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, “March Madness,” Chef Karen Weinstein is unveiling “Mussel Madness” – a month-long celebration featuring steamed, fried, and fra diavolo mussels at Doc Magrogan’s Oyster Houses in Philadelphia’s University City and West Chester, PA, beginning this Saturday, March 9th.
Each of the dishes featured in this campaign will utilize prized Prince Edward Island mussels, and will be available until the 2013 NCAA men’s basketball champion is crowned on Monday, April 8th.
Ms. Weinstein’s $12.00 steamed trio features bowls of mussels in slow-roasted tomato sauce; a lemongrass-ginger broth; and spicy corn & crab chowder. Each trio comes paired with a choice of an Irish, American, or Belgian beer flight featuring three 6-ounce beers for an additional $12.00. The fried mussels are dipped in buttermilk, dredged in cracker meal, deep fried golden brown, and then served with celeriac apple slaw and Guinness BBQ sauce for $9.00.
An $18.00 Beer Mussels steam pot includes 2 lbs. of plump mussels steamed in Doc’s Hard Cider and then served with house-made garlic bread. And the $16.00 fra diavolo includes a pound of mussels bathed in a spicy tomato broth with banana & cherry peppers served over linguini.
Open seven days a week for lunch, dinner, and brunch on Saturdays and Sundays, Doc Magrogan’s Oyster Houses are located at 3432 Sansom Street in University City and at 117 East Gay Street, in West Chester, PA.
