Fresh Live Mussels are rope-grown in the clear waters off the Lyme Bay coast, where strong tides and clean conditions produce naturally plump, sweet mussels. Sustainably farmed and delivered live, they’re ready to cook and enjoy at their best.

Why it’s special: Grown on suspended ropes in open coastal waters, these mussels feed naturally on plankton and require no additives or dredging. This gentle farming method protects the seabed and supports a thriving marine environment while producing exceptional quality mussels.

Quality & versatility: With their clean flavour and tender texture, these mussels are a true British favourite. Quick to cook and high in protein, they’re ideal for everything from light lunches to special occasion dishes.

Serving inspiration: Steam gently with white wine, garlic, and parsley for a classic moules marinière, or cook with chilli, ginger, and coconut milk for a fragrant Asian-style broth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is your seafood fresh or frozen?

All of our seafood is 100% fresh — the only exceptions are products like prawns, which are not locally caught and may have been previously frozen. Everything else is sourced fresh and never frozen before delivery.

Where does your fish come from?

The vast majority of our fish is sourced from Brixham Fish Market. Occasionally, we may source from other British ports if availability is limited, or use trusted suppliers for farmed fish — but everything is always top quality and responsibly sourced.

How is the fish packaged for delivery?

Your order is vacuum-packed and labelled, then carefully packed in a recyclable cardboard box with eco-friendly wool insulation and frozen gel packs to keep it chilled during delivery.

Can I choose my delivery day?

Yes — at checkout, you can choose your preferred delivery date. We offer nationwide delivery Wednesday to Saturday, local delivery every Thursday, and click & collect from our Bovey Tracey site.

Can I freeze the fish?

Yes — all of our fresh fish is suitable for freezing at home for up to 3 months. Each product includes clear guidance on the label.

Please note: Prawn products are not be suitable for freezing.
