Why roast mussels in an oven?
- What's this dish from a Hong Kong restaurant, with wok fried carrots and mushrooms?
I always just steam mussels in a stockpot — I hate cleaning my electric oven!. But this [Maine restaurant](https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/fore-street-portland?select=G5HDBCQ8OdxI59ZPrJzg5g) roasts mussels in wood oven. What's the point? What do you gain?
