Description
Bring the clean, briny flavor of the Atlantic coast to the table with our live Prince Edward Island mussels. Raised in the cool, nutrient-rich waters around Prince Edward Island, these beautiful mussels are prized for their glossy blue-black shells, plump, tender meat, and naturally sweet, ocean-fresh flavor. Quick-cooking and wonderfully versatile, our PEI mussels make an effortless centerpiece or an appetizer for your live lobster feast. Prepare them in a classic white-wine-and-garlic broth, spicy tomato sauce, or coconut curry, and serve immediately—because a great mussel night is best enjoyed straight from the pot. Be sure to have plenty of crusty bread to soak up every drop of briny sauce. Sold live for peak freshness; also available frozen for convenience.

Cooking & Serving

Clean: Place mussels in a colander under cold running water and scrub with a stiff brush to remove any dirt or sand. 

De-beard: Pull out the fibrous “beard” thread from the shell opening. 

Sort: Discard any mussels with broken shells or strong off odors. Some fresh clams or mussels may be open upon arrival; tap the shell gently and wait for it to close again.  After cooking, all shells should open. Discard any that remain closed. 

Note: Mussels may have a strong aroma, natural to this shellfish. If you receive fresh clams or mussels and can’t cook them that day, place them in a bowl and refrigerate for up to one day, covered with the moist pad included in the cooler.

To Prepare:
  • Steam for 3-5 minutes in 1" of liquid: water, wine, tomato sauce, etc., until just after they open their shell.
  • Remove the beard (the membrane that stores sand and grit) by simply pulling it away from the meat.
  • Serve mussels over pasta or in bowls with bread on the side to soak up the juice.
  • Save the clear cooking juices to make soup or prepare sauces.
