Greenshell Half-Shell Mussels from New Zealand (1kg)
Half-shell greenshell mussels from the clean waters off New Zealand. Greenshell mussels have plump meat with a sweet and tender taste. These all-natural mussels are very convenient and easy to prepare - half of the shell is already removed. They are well suited to many types of preparations including sauté, frying, baking, steaming, broiling, stewing, and grilling. You get a whopping 1kg (2.2 lbs) of individually quick frozen mussels. Simply remove the number of mussels you need to defrost from the bag at any time and defrost in a separate bowl.
These shellfish are cultivated in the pristine, clean South Pacific waters of New Zealand. The growing areas are monitored, tested, and regulated by NZMPI to ensure high quality and safety. Using world-leading techniques, these mussels are individually quick frozen to preserve their freshness and flavor. There are no antibiotics, hormones, or any chemicals used during both the farming and post-harvesting processes. Certified sustainable to the A+ New Zealand standard. Rest assured, these mussels are clean and nasty-free, but if you want that extra layer of certification, check out our Certified Organic Greenshell Mussels.
