LIVE SHELLFISH - 1KG WHEN PACKED - PLEASE ENJOY WITHIN 2 DAYS OF DELIVERY
Fresh mussels are delivered to us each day by Tim of Portilly Shellfish who works in the north Cornish village of Rock located on the banks of the River Camel and from Miles of Fowey Shellfish on the South coast. Both these suppliers have been selected by us for their high quality shellfish. We also have mussels delivered from Exmouth Mussel Company based on the banks of the River Exe in Devon; this allows us to deliver you the best mussels available each day. Please note, live shellfish will lose moisture and weight in transit. Live mussels will open and close on their own and may also still have the beard attached.
Mussels are a great source of important vitamins; with levels of iron and folic acid to rival red meat. Mussels are also a rich source of zinc. - Health & Nutrition

We have a long term relationships with Tim of Porthilly Shellfish
and Miles of Fowey Shellfish located in the North village of Rock and the south coast town of Fowey. Our mussels are grown in the deep, clear, clean waters ofs the Cornish coast, renowned for its water clarity.
All molluscs are depurated to ensure they are full of flavour and safe to eat. Depuration is the process where, over a given period of time (normally 42 hours), shellfish are contained in salt water tanks, with the water pumped over ultraviolet light to reduce any bacteria that may be present within the animal, to the lowest levels possible. This process is monitored by Environmental Health Officers and DEFRA.
