Fresh Live Mussels are rope-grown in the clear waters off the Lyme Bay coast, where strong tides and clean conditions produce naturally sweet, flavourful 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 excellent quality mussels.
Quality & versatility: These mussels are naturally smaller in size, which is typical of sustainably rope-grown mussels from UK waters, but they make up for it with clean flavour and tender texture. Quick to cook and high in protein, they’re ideal for everything from light lunches to generous sharing 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
Where do your Fresh Live Mussels come from?
›
Our Fresh Live Mussels are sourced from offshore mussel farms, where they are grown in clean coastal waters. These carefully managed farms produce mussels with excellent flavour and consistent quality.
How do I know if Fresh Live Mussels are alive?
›
Fresh Live Mussels should be tightly closed when raw. If any shells are slightly open, gently tap them - live mussels will close. Any mussels that remain open before cooking should be discarded.
How should Fresh Live Mussels be cooked?
›
Fresh Live Mussels are best cooked by steaming for a few minutes in a pan with ingredients such as garlic, white wine, herbs or cream. They cook very quickly and are ready once the shells open.
What should I do with mussels that stay closed after cooking?
›
After cooking Fresh Live Mussels, discard any shells that remain closed. Mussels that do not open during cooking should not be eaten.
