If you want to preserve live mussels, steam them first. You can then freeze (thaw before use) or pickle them for up to four months.

Unlike their wild counterparts, rope-grown mussels don’t contain any sand and therefore don’t need to be soaked in water. For your convenience, our mussels have also been pre-cleaned, which is just a fancy way of saying we’ve scrubbed each shell gently to remove any unwanted sea bits. You’re welcome!

Just before cooking pinch the mussel and pull the beard out towards the wider round edge. (no shaving cream required)

The steaming liquid can be water, wine, beer, melted butter or even juice. Still want more flavour? Add celery, thyme or fresh garlic at the start. And don’t you even think about throwing away the natural mussel broth! It’s rich in flavour and makes for a very versatile stock. Browse to our recipe section for more delicious ways to cook mussels.
