Blue Mussel

Our Blue Mussel (Mytilus edulis) is a cold-water bivalve renowned for its distinctive deep blue-black shell and sweet, tender meat. Harvested from wild intertidal beds and sustainable rope-grown farms in the cold, nutrient-rich waters of the North Atlantic – including Maine (USA), Prince Edward Island (Canada), and the Shetland Isles (UK) – each mussel is hand-gathered or mechanically harvested using low-impact methods. The shells display a striking iridescent blue hue with fan-like ridges, and the meat ranges from creamy white to rich apricot orange, depending on gender and season. Live blue mussels are delivered with tightly closed shells or those that close when tapped, ensuring absolute freshness. When steamed or simmered in broth, the meat releases a delicate, sweet brine with subtle mineral notes, free from sand or grit thanks to our 24-hour seawater purification process. Each kilogram contains 40–60 medium-sized mussels (40–55 mm shell length). Packed in breathable mesh sacks or eco-friendly waxed cartons with gel ice, shelf life 6–8 days at 0–4°C. Nutritionally, blue mussels provide 17g protein, 2g fat, 280mg omega-3s, and exceptional levels of zinc and iodine per 100g serving. Perfect for classic moules-frites, Thai coconut curries, or beer-steamed appetizers. MSC-certified sustainable. Available for chilled air-freight worldwide. Wholesale and retail packaging options.
