Our Product

Mussels have traditionally been sold packed in mesh bags Our mussels are available in 1 and 3 kilo sealed trays or in 5 or 10 kilo net bags. We cap our bags with fresh ice in order to keep the mussels damp and cool, particularly during transit. If a mussel dries out it will start to gape and lose condition so they must be kept cool and damp in order to protect their quality and shelflife.

However, Myles Blood Smyth has developed a “protective atmosphere” packaging system which extends their shelf life up to eight days. ‘Putting our mussels into recycled trays and being able to seal in the moisture has been very successful for us. The 1 kilo packs are flushed with oxygen to keep the mussels happy and they have a much better chance of getting to the customer in top shape,’ says Myles. ‘This has proved very popular with food businesses who appreciate that smaller packs designed around the portions needed for the restaurant trade helps to reduce wastage.’ The packaging also prevents any cross contamination and has a clear “use by” date making stock control very easy.
