Instructions
Cover potatoes with salted water by 1 inch in a large saucepan, then simmer, uncovered, until just tender, about 15 minutes.
Drain in a colander and rinse under cold water until cool.
Prepare grill for cooking.
Cut cooled potatoes crosswise into thirds and arrange in 1 layer on a tray.
Brush both sides of potatoes with some oil (2 tablespoons total for all of them) and season with salt and pepper.
When fire is medium-hot (you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack 3 to 4 seconds), grill potatoes on lightly oiled rack until grill marks form, about 1 minute on each side, then transfer to a large bowl. Toss hot potatoes with 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
Put mussels in aluminum pan and cook in covered grill, stirring occasionally, 5 to 6 minutes, or until they just open.
Transfer mussels to a bowl with a slotted spoon. Discard any that haven't opened, then shuck remainder.
Add mussels to potatoes along with fennel, parsley, olives, capers, and remaining 2 tablespoons lemon juice, tossing to combine, then let stand at room temperature, tossing occasionally, 10 minutes.
Toss salad with remaining oil and salt and pepper to taste.
Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Muscadet, Riesling
Chardonnay, Muscadet, and Riesling are great choices for Shellfish. Buttery chardonnay is great for scallops, shrimp, crab, and lobster, while muscadet is a classic pick for mussels, oysters, and clams. If you've got some spice in your shellfish, a semi-dry riesling can balance out the heat. The Chateau Ste. Michelle Indian Wells Chardonnay Wine with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 18 dollars per bottle.

Chateau Ste. Michelle Indian Wells Chardonnay Wine
"Our Indian Wells Chardonnay delivers an appealing tropical fruit character typical of warm sites like the Wahluke Slope. I like this Chardonnay's ripe pineapple and butterscotch flavors and rich, creamy texture. Try it with Scallops, scampi or pasta with rich sauces." - Bob Bertheau
