Green Shell Mussels

Perna canaliculus (Greenshell Mussels) are native and grown only in New Zealand. They are one of the largest mussel species and their emerald green shells are distinctive to this species.

Greenshell Mussels are called Kutai by our New Zealand indigenous Maori.  They have been an important food source for coastal Maori for generations and an iconic seafood for all New Zealanders.

Our mussels are sourced from some of the finest cleanest waters of New Zealand, from Stewart Island in the far south to the warmer waters of the Marlborough Sounds. All of our farming partners lead by example in healthy ocean management and sustainability.

All of our products are packed within a day of harvest and will stay ‘live’ in our custom packaging for 12 days.
