Fresh Blue Mussels (Mytilus edulis)
Please note this is a live, perishable seafood product.
Our Blue Mussels (Mytilus edulis) are sustainably harvested by hand from the cold, clean waters of the Gulf of Maine. Known for their deep blue-black shells and tender, flavorful meat, these mussels are a true taste of Maine’s working waterfront. Each mussel naturally filters the ocean, producing a briny sweetness that makes them perfect for steaming, chowders, pasta, or classic coastal dishes. Collected fresh year-round from intertidal rocks, pilings, and floating docks, they’re packed and shipped live for peak freshness and flavor.
