Mussel Soup with an Islay Taste

My Swedish is almost as limited as my knowledge of mussels and other shellfish. Hence I don't know if a Swedish mussel is really the same as an English mussel, but from reading Swedish crime fiction I vaguely remember mussels being a Swedish speciality. Funky Village writes about Musselsoppa med Islay-smak:

Men jag vill dock framhålla mitt val som den kulinariska vinnaren! En enkel musselsoppa med lök och bacon, smaksatt med härligt rökig single malt.

Assuming I read this correctly mussel soup with a wonderful smoky single malt (in other words an Islay single malt whisky) is a culinary winner. I guess I should try it some time.

This is a blog about the Isle of Islay, an island in the Inner Hebrides off the west coast of Scotland. It is run by Armin Grewe, a regular visitor to the Island. I don't live on Islay (yet?), but that doesn't stop me blogging about Islay.

I will blog about anything Islay related I can think of: pictures, news, links, whisky, bird watching, wildlife, you name it.
