Premium Live PEI Blue Mussels – 10 lb Bag

Prince Edward Island Blue Mussels are the gold standard of farmed shellfish — sweet, plump, and consistently clean. Rope-grown in the cold, tidal waters of PEI, these mussels feed on natural phytoplankton, producing a rich, briny-sweet flavor with a tender, meaty texture. Sustainably farmed, packed live to order, and shipped overnight for peak freshness.
