Ocean friendly farmed greenshell™ mussels
New Zealand’s Greenshell™ mussels have been judged one of the most ocean friendly seafoods in the world by the USA’s respected Blue Ocean Institute. For more information see http://www.blueocean.org/seafood. Mussels feed by filtering algae and other plankton, thereby improving the quality of the surrounding water.

Our mussels are grown on ropes suspended in coastal water, which causes little habitat disruption. Seed comes from wild collection, and there are no major concerns about depleting broodstock. PHR Processing Ltd New Zealand Greenshell™ Mussels need no artificial feeding and are free of growth promotents or additives such as fertilisers, herbicides and pesticides.
