An 800g pack of New Zealand green-lipped mussels in the half shell — noticeably larger than common European mussels, with a beautiful black-green-tinted shell and bright orange-to-light-brown meat. Farmed in the cold, clean waters off New Zealand and harvested at peak. The half-shell format means no cleaning and no debearding — just defrost (or warm directly from frozen for hot dishes) and serve.
