In a saucepan, over high heat, combine fish stock, saffron and white wine, bring to a boil. Reduce to simmering and let cook for 5 minutes. Set aside.
In a separate saucepan, over high heat, add the butter and garlic. Cook until the garlic is tender. Add saffron broth and bring to a boil. Add the rest of the ingredients including the mussels and cover.
When the mussels open up remove the pan from the heat and let it seat for 1 to 2 minutes. Serve in a bowl and garnish with a slice of fresh lemon or lime.
