Fresh Green Mussels, Live Harvested

Harvested live from clean coastal farms and delivered with their shells still tightly closed, these mussels show off vivid emerald-teal shells and plump, orange-hued meat that is sweet, briny and remarkably tender.

Cooking Ideas

Classic steamed: steam for 4-5 minutes in a white wine, garlic and shallot butter broth, discarding any that stay shut, then finish with parsley and crusty bread. Thai curry: simmer for 5-6 minutes in coconut milk with curry paste and lime leaf, and serve over jasmine rice. Grilled: toss in olive oil and herbs, then grill shell-side down over high heat for 3-4 minutes. Baked: top with tomato, feta and olives and bake at 200°C for 10-12 minutes.

Storage

Refrigerate at 0-4°C on arrival and eat the same day where possible, within 48 hours at the most. Store loosely covered under a damp paper towel — never seal live mussels in an airtight container, as they need to breathe. Discard any with broken shells, or those that will not close when tapped.
