Mussels (NZ Greenlip)

One of the world's most successfully farmed mussels, they are found only in New Zealand. There are Greenshell™ Mussel farms in Marlborough Sounds, Coromandel, Golden Bay and Stewart Island where the shellfish are grown on lines suspended from ropes above the seabed. Harvested all year-round (after growing for between 14 and 18 months) farmed mussels are fatter and more tender than wild mussels
