Product Description
Sweet, tender and quick to cook, these mussels are rope-grown in the clear tidal waters of Lyme Bay on the South West coast. Strong currents and clean conditions produce mussels with a naturally clean flavour and a consistently good texture.
Rope-growing is a gentle method that works with the marine environment rather than against it. The mussels feed naturally on plankton, the seabed is left undisturbed and the result is a mussel with real character. Naturally smaller than many mussels you will find elsewhere, but that is where the flavour is.
Steam with white wine, garlic and parsley for a classic result, or go further with chilli, ginger and coconut milk for something more fragrant. They cook in minutes and are well suited to sharing. Delivered live and prepared to order, with nothing sitting in stock. Sent out fresh on your chosen delivery day, always fresh and never previously frozen, so you can freeze at home if needed.
Try them in our Moules Frites.

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.
