FROZEN MUSSEL PACKS

Canadian Cove Frozen Mussels: We start frozen production in September and stop in May before the mussels go into their spawning cycle. We produce a one and two pound pre-cooked vacuum packed product in several size ranges either plain or in sauce. Our team can also customize and brand a sauce especially for you.

We believe there are several points which set our frozen mussels apart.

• Only high quality Canadian Cove mussels are selected for processing.
• We believe both the flavour and texture of our mussel meat is superior.
• Our shells are slightly thicker and reduce the likelihood of splintering during processing.
• When our frozen mussels are reconstituted they pop open.

Did you know… that Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch program has included farmed mussels among their list of BEST CHOICES for seafood consumers. Their “Best Choices” are defined as abundant, well-managed and caught or farmed in environmentally friendly ways.

In 2007, Atlantic Aqua Farms was granted permission to process and ship a high oxygen tray pack.

The company developed the process over 8 years of in-house and third-party lab experimentation and trials with different gas mixes and packaging combinations to provide the optimum conditions for product quality and shelf life.

The mixture relaxes the mussels and puts them in a dormant state and extends shelf life. Supported by third party laboratory microbiological analysis, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency has granted our packs up to an 18 day shelf life. In addition to the long shelf life our high oxygen packaging is much more consumer friendly. Ninety percent of the mussels sold in Europe are sold in similar packaging. The High Oxygen Trays are currently packed in 8 x 2lb. cases.
