Asian mussel flavours

Mussels are exploding onto the culinary scene, globally recognised as one of the true natural superfoods. Mussels boast a superior nutritional profile than red meat and a higher protein content than finned fish. It is time to get your dose of the world’s most affordable seafood delicacy with the added advantage of supporting a farmed protein source that contributes to a healthier planet.

The science is in and the experts have spoken. Sustainably farmed mussels are the way forward when it comes to finding an alternative to your meat fix.

Their passion for beer and mussels is as traditional as any heritage found throughout the European continent.
