¼ cup dry white wine
¼ cup lobster stock
1 cup tomato sauce
12 mussels, cleaned and debearded
½ French baguette, halved lengthwise
1 teaspoon duck fat, or more as needed

Heat olive oil in saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic; cook and stir until softened, 1 or 2 minutes. Pour in white wine, lobster stock, and tomato sauce.

Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
Rub baguette with duck fat on cut sides. Place on a baking sheet and set under broiler. Broil until browned and crunchy, 1 to 2 minutes.
