blue lip mussels

Scientific Name: Mytilus edulis

We occasionally stock Blue Lip Mussels from Freycinet Marine Farm.
Mussels are filter feeders, which means that they feed on free-floating plankton and other microscopic sea creatures that pass them in the water. Similarly to clams, mussels have a mild flavour of the ocean, and are faintly sweet.

Excellent for steaming, smoking and pickling. They are best cooked whole - the shell will open itself up for you to grab the meat from inside.
We sell them marinated and pickled in store too!
