FAQ

1. What are Mussels?

Our Mussels are sustainably sourced from the clean waters of the North Atlantic. These mussels are plump, tender, and brimming with a naturally sweet, briny flavor. They come in the shell, ready for you to steam, sauté, or cook to perfection.

2. How do I prepare Mussels?

Preparing mussels is quick and easy! Simply rinse them under cold water to remove any grit or debris, then discard any mussels with broken shells or that do not close when tapped. To cook, steam them in a pot with your favorite aromatics (garlic, onion, wine, etc.) for about 5-7 minutes, or until they open up. Serve with fresh herbs, melted butter, or your favorite sauce.

3. How much Mussels should I order per person?

We recommend ordering 1-1.5 pounds of mussels per person as a main dish, or about 1/2 pound per person if you're serving them as an appetizer or part of a larger seafood spread. Mussels are a crowd-pleaser, so you may want to order extra!

4. How should I store Mussels?

Store mussels in the fridge as soon as they arrive. Keep them in a breathable container, like a bowl, covered with a damp cloth. They should stay cool and moist but should never be submerged in water. Mussels are best consumed within 1-2 days of arrival for optimal freshness.

5. Can I order Mussels for delivery?

Yes, we offer nationwide delivery for our fresh mussels! Each order is carefully packaged and shipped fast to ensure they arrive fresh and ready to cook, straight to your door.

6. Are your Mussels pre-cooked?

No, our Mussels are raw and come in their shells, ensuring the freshest flavor possible. They’ll need to be cooked before eating, but the process is simple and quick!

7. How do I know if my Mussels are bad or spoiled?

Before cooking, make sure to discard any mussels that have broken shells or those that do not close when tapped. After cooking, any mussels that do not open should be discarded as they may not be safe to eat.

8. Can I freeze Mussels?

While we recommend enjoying mussels fresh, you can freeze them if necessary. Shuck them (remove the meat from the shell) and place them in an airtight container or freezer bag. They will last up to 2-3 months in the freezer. To cook, thaw in the fridge overnight.

9. Do you offer any recipes or seasoning ideas for Mussels?

Definitely! Mussels are versatile and delicious with simple seasonings. You can cook them in white wine, garlic, and butter for a classic preparation, or try them with coconut milk and curry for a twist. Serve them with fresh herbs like parsley, thyme, or basil, and crusty bread for dipping in the flavorful broth!

About this product

You may have recently perused a menu and various chef specials highlighted blue mussels. Seafood paella with white gulf shrimp, saffron rice, garden-fresh bell peppers, and Prince Edward Island mussels will feed the entire family. Looks like the chef may have collected a huge mussel catch. Creamy white wine garlic linguine heads the pasta choices. Slightly chewy, but oceanic fresh with a brief mushroom like undertone describes the mussel’s taste. Sauces and spices coat the mussel with complementing flavors. Garlic butter makes the mussel more tender and nutty. White wine’s fruity, but oaky flavor finely splashes the mussel’s pallet with a salty then sweet oceanic blast. Harvested all along America’s northeastern coast and even into Central America, blue mussels win favor with chefs. Rhode Island receives the honors for USA’s ultimate blue mussel catch, while Canada’s Prince Edward Island leads the world with over 80% of cuisine’s mussels coming from this “mecca.” Even Chile harvests this bivalve mulluscs for seafood recipes.

Not only do blue mussels taste exquisite in a dish, but they have some “body friendly” nutrients. If you suffer from achy joints or a high blood pressure reading, the high levels of potassium found in mussels will help alleviate it. Bursting with protein, in fact, 20 grams per a 3 oz. serving, they give you energy through a bustling day. The mussels’ habitat helps in developing this healthy meat. Wading through intercoastal regions, an avid fisherman can find mussels sticking to rocks, docks and any plank within a water flowing current. Moving around with a small “foot” or growth from the shell and syphoning water throughout the shell, mussels search out salty water with a rush of fresh water mixing within it. Sweetness comes from a less saline area, but the oceanic blast in a mussel’s meat comes from the salt water. Both are necessary, along with the nourishment. Using their filters, they digest plankton and detritus in the water. With about 5 years in life-span, they develop a meat necessary for a well-rounded diet!
