Almost always available. With the exception of the few months between May and July it can be enjoyed the whole year. The blue mussel (common mussel) lives in shallow waters and attaches itself to rocks and other members of the same species with its strong byssal threads. The NORDSEE blue mussel comes vacuum packed from the Netherlands where the conditions for natural breeding are at their most favourable due to the shallow Wadden sea. An important mark of quality is that the mussels are closed when alive and open after cooking.
