Mussels are shellfish that can be found in ponds, streams, lakes, and rivers worldwide. They are valued for their taste, consistency, and quality. They’re low in calories but high in protein and B12. Almost all commercially produced mussels have excellent natural water content, low contamination, no toxic treatments, and are well linked to their surroundings. The highest quality fresh Mussels are flash-frozen to lock all the natural, delicious meatiness and texture, producing better tasting and more healthy mussels than ever.
Frozen mussels provide a perfect addition to pasta recipes, soups, and seafood casseroles. They are among the most sustainable seafood options, and the potential benefits of mussels go much further than bright white shells and their tasty, meaty flesh.
Mussels are cultivated on long lines, held in the water table between 3 to 20 metres, and gathered by pulling the lines then scraping the mussels. Mussels are a passive method of aquaculture, implying that no feeding is required. Combined with their fast growth and 0 output, they are the number one sustainable option. Like all other shellfish, mussels can not be frozen fresh without undergoing any heat process. The mussels are cooked in an autoclave for about three minutes by steaming at roughly 125 degrees Celsius. The container is frozen along with the mussels inside after the heat treatment. Once the mussels are frozen, the container will be reopened, and the mussels are then extracted and shaken to be frozen individually. For 40 weeks, fresh frozen mussel meat stays in an optimal state.
