Green Lipped Mussels come to us from the world cleanest water New Zealand. They are so rich in essential nutrients that they have been extracted and bottled to sold as vitamins. They are larger mussels comparing to black mussels with a green outer shell, light, firm and plump with a mild and fresh taste. They are orange and/or ivory when raw or cooked. They come in a 2 LB bag on a 1/2 shell. Marketable size are (90 - 120 mm). They are great stir fry, bake; grill, fry and steam. Fact in 2011 Scientific tests carried by New Zealand's National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) showed Blue Lake to be the clearest natural body of fresh water known to man.
Freshly cooked and frozen Greenshell or Greenlipped Mussels in a half shell is vacuum packed and ready to be steamed.
(2 lbs.) pack.
Green mussels are sweet, tender, delicate, plump and juicy. Meat color varies from apricot (female) to cream (male). The color has no effect on flavor. Greenshells are most commonly available individually quick frozen in the whole or half shell to lock in flavor.Because they are grown on ropes suspended above the seabed, they rarely contain grit or sand. Unlike the blue mussel, the greenshell mussel’s shell is slightly open in its natural state, which New Zealanders refer to as “smiling.” The shell closes tightly when the mussel is subjected to stress, freshwater or rough handling.
Since frozen halfshells are already partially cooked, you can add a topping of your choice before “final-touch” broiling or baking. Cooking from frozen at high heat gives the best results. Also excellent heated in Italian sauces and served with pasta. Meats are good whole or chopped in casseroles, chowders and salads, or minced in terrines, patés and quiches.
For best results cook from frozen, pre-heat your oven and bake in an oven proof dish for 15 minutes or steam for 8-10 minutes.
Our favourite is: add onion (one small) and garlic (3 cloves) to heated olive oil in a large pan, cook until softened and add white wine (150ml), turn up the heat, when its bubbling add the mussels (1kg) add some fresh thyme, turn the heat back to low, add a tight lid to the pan and cook for 8-10 minutes, add some double cream (same amount as the wine you use) and cook for another minute. Scatter chopped herbs like parsley and serve with crusty bread. Delicious. This recipe serves two.

Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2018
The quality of the mussel is good. Came packaged and frozen as advertised. Other companies sell these same mussels on halfshell in 2 lb packages, but these come packaged in whole shell, so therefore you are paying for double shell weight and less mussels.
