Fresh live farm-raised mussels sold by the pound. These mussels are cultivated using rope-grown aquaculture methods, where they are suspended from anchored rafts in deep water. This farming technique produces cleaner mussels that are typically grit-free with glossy, pristine shells and hearty meat, as they never sit on the ocean floor.

Farm-raised mussels are an excellent source of lean protein, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B12, selenium, iron, and iodine. They are sustainably grown under U.S. state and federal regulations and available year-round.

For storage, keep refrigerated on a bed of ice. When properly stored, live mussels can remain fresh for 5-7 days. Do not store in fresh water as this will kill them. The mussels arrive dormant in shrink packaging and will become slightly more active when exposed to air.
