GREENSHELL MUSSELS
Premium New Zealand Greenshell™ Mussels
Greenshell™ Mussels are unique to New Zealand and are sustainably farmed in the pristine waters of the Marlborough Sounds at the top of New Zealand’s South Island. Suspended on ropes, our mussels feed naturally from the surrounding waters without the need for additional feed.
Naturally Fresh. Conveniently Prepared.
Upon harvest, the mussels naturally close their shells, retaining approximately one teaspoon of seawater in each mussel. We inspect, wash and remove the beard from the closed shells before packing them into a USFDA-approved, non-BPA plastic pouch.
The sealed pouches are vacuum packed and pressure cooked at high temperatures in a retort, creating a convenient, shelf-stable product while preserving the mussels' natural flavour and stock.
For selected export markets, we also offer salinity-reduced products, where fresh water is added to reduce the perceived saltiness of the mussels' natural stock. Please enquire for availability.
Sustainably farmed & SQF certified
From the pristine waters of New Zealand to the finished product, quality and responsibility are at the heart of everything we do. Our Greenshell™ Mussels are sustainably farmed in New Zealand and our farming practices are approved under the A+ Sustainable Aquaculture Programme, giving you confidence that our mussels are responsibly grown from the outset.
Once harvested, our mussels are processed at our facility, which is SQF certified, ensuring they are handled and produced under rigorous, internationally recognised food safety and quality standards.
From sustainable farming through to processing and packing, Omega Seafood delivers quality you can trust at every stage.

GROWN IN THE PRISTINE WATERS OF THE
MARLBOROUGH SOUNDS
Mother nature has blessed New Zealand with some of the cleanest seawater on the planet. Due to the proximity of Antarctica, our NZ water is clean and abundant with nutrients for the mussels to filter feed naturally.
The sea is also brimming with the building blocks of all life in the ocean, phytoplankton. Two factors which make our shellfish so tasty and nutritious.
