New Zealand Greenshell Mussels in Half Shell – Frozen

Native to New Zealand Talley’s Greenshell™ Mussels are cultivated in the pristine South Pacific waters of New Zealand.

Using world leading techniques, our mussels are delivered for processing within mere hours of being plucked from their pure ocean environment. Once we’re satisfied they meet our high standards, they’re snap frozen to preserve their freshness and flavour.

Nestled in their distinctive green shell, these tender, meaty mussel differ naturally in colour with apricot (female) and cream (male) both having the same exquisite flavour.

A green food source, New Zealand Greenshell™ Mussels are often referenced as one of the best sustainable seafood options. As filter feeders they take all their nutrients from the seawater – nothing else is added. Every farm must operate in accordance with a resource consent that sets strict conditions determined and enforced by the local council. The consent is in effect a licence that tightly controls, among other things, the size of the farm, activities permitted and required monitoring. The Quota Management System does not apply to Greenshell™ Mussels; it is instead governed by provisions within the Resource Management Act and the Aquaculture Act.
