Description
Sealord’s New Zealand Greenshell™ Mussels are also known as green-lipped mussels and are unique to New Zealand’s coastal waters. Sealord’s Greenshell™ mussels are harvested throughout the year from the pristine waters of New Zealand’s remote bays and inlets. Sealord’s mussels are processed directly after harvest using modern plant and technology.
The half shell mussels are blanched, opened, quick frozen and then glazed. Mussels are grown, harvested, transported, processed and labelled in accordance with the USFDA National Shellfish Sanitation Programme (NSSP) and standards are equivalent to EU standards. They are harvested and processed under HACCP based risk management programmes. These systems are verified by the NZFSA and USFDA. The product conforms to the microbiological standards of Sealord Group Ltd and USFDA standards for biotoxin testing. The shells are an attractive green colour and the meat is either cream (male) or orange (female), both have the same delicate flavour.
Cooking Guide
As mussels have their own ‘serving dish’ it is easy to simply add a topping and heat them through by baking or microwaving. When using in other dishes, Sealord mussels are best prepared from frozen taking care not to overcook. Once thawed, use immediately. Do not refreeze.
