PEI Blue Mussels

Description

From the cold, clean, and nutrient-rich Atlantic waters of Canada, Prince Edward Island mussels are among the most sought-after shellfish in the seafood market today. Sustainably rope-cultivated in the protected inlets and bays of PEI’s aquaculture farms, these mussels grow naturally without the need for feed or chemicals, making them one of the most eco-friendly seafood choices available. Their deep, glossy black-blue shells conceal plump, tender meat that offers a delicate sweetness, subtle brininess, and buttery texture—flavors that have earned them a place on the menus of top restaurants around the world.

Perfectly suited for steaming, sautéing, or roasting, PEI mussels are a favorite for both professional chefs and home cooks alike. Whether prepared in a classic French modules marinière with garlic, white wine, and shallots, or simmered in a rich tomato and chili broth with fresh herbs, these mussels cook quickly—typically in under 10 minutes—and absorb flavors beautifully while retaining their signature ocean taste.

A single 2-pound bag typically serves 2–3 people generously and can be a show-stopping appetizer or a hearty main course when served with crusty bread, pasta, or crispy fries. Mussels are not only delicious—they’re also an excellent source of lean protein, omega-3 fatty acids, iron, zinc, and vitamin B12, making them one of the healthiest seafood options you can enjoy.

With a high meat-to-shell ratio and long shelf life when properly stored chilled, Prince Edward Island mussels offer incredible value and versatility. Whether you’re preparing an elegant dinner or a cozy weeknight meal, these premium-quality blue mussels bring the taste of the Atlantic straight to your table.
