MEDITERRANEAN MUSSELS

• Mediterranean mussels (𝑀𝑦𝑡𝑖𝑙𝑢𝑠 𝑔𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑜𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑣𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑖𝑎𝑙𝑖𝑠) are widely available in the U.S., primarily from large commercial aquaculture farms on the West Coast and, more recently, some locations on the East Coast. They are prized for their plump meat, sweet and briny flavor, and are available year-round.
• The cold, nutrient-rich tidal waters of the Puget Sound region in Washington state are ideal for farming mussels. Noted farms in this area include Penn Cove Shellfish and Taylor Shellfish.
