Zeeland Imperial mussels

Zeeland Imperial Mussels

Zeeland Imperial mussels offer a beautifully balanced size within the Zeeland mussel range. They combine good meat content with the characteristic pure and slightly saline flavour for which Zeeland mussels are renowned. Their consistent sizing and versatility make Imperial mussels an excellent choice for professional kitchens, restaurants and a wide range of traditional and contemporary seafood dishes.

Flavour & texture

Refined and naturally saline in flavour, with tender, succulent mussel meat and a pleasantly firm bite. The balance between shell size and meat content makes Imperial mussels particularly versatile in the kitchen.

Culinary applications

Excellent for traditional mussel pots prepared with white wine, beer or cream. They are also highly suitable for pasta, paella, risotto, bouillabaisse, fish soups and Mediterranean seafood dishes. Imperial mussels can also be gratinated, prepared with garlic and herbs or served as part of a premium seafood platter.
