Mussels
When our father KK got into growing mussels way back, people thought he’d had too much sea air. Luckily, he knew a few things they didn’t. Years later, United Fish Co. is one of New Zealand’s leading names in mussels. We grow them in cold, clear southern waters, then snap-freeze so every bit of freshness makes it to your plate. This is quite simply nature’s food at its best – plump, juicy and full of flavour.
Male mussels are a creamy white colour, females a vibrant orange-apricot, and both are easily recognised by their distinctive green lip. Greenshell™ Mussels are something special, they’e unique to New Zealand and celebrated worldwide for their sweet, mineral-clean taste and tender, meaty texture. But it’s not just about flavour, they’re also naturally rich in nutrients, recognised for their wholesome, nourishing qualities. Raised in pristine waters and handled with care from sea to plate, our mussels reflect the best of sustainable aquaculture: pure, healthy and unmistakably New Zealand.
From Golden Bay through to the pristine bays and coves of the Marlborough Sounds, our Greenshell™ mussel farms thrive in deep, cool, crystal-clear waters. Using advanced aquaculture methods, the mussels reach peak quality within 18 months before being carefully harvested and transported to our export facility in Christchurch, where they’re snap-frozen to lock in freshness.
