Having fed all year on the plankton-rich waters of the River Exe, our fresh Devonshire mussels are at their finest from June until the following spring. Mussels are easy to cook, just flash them in a hot pan with chopped garlic and onions along with a good splash of wine or cider, let it bubble up until the mussels open up. Discard those that don’t. Add a bit of cream if you like and prise those beauties out of their shell. Don’t forget a big wedge of bread to mop up all those yummy juices.
Not suitable for home freezing.
Mussels, at last! If you look at any list of what fish are good to eat mussels always top the list. So, we we’re extremely excited to welcome Exmouth Mussels, a small Devonshire company, on board.
They’re based right on the magnificent River Exe in Devon, one of Britain’s most productive, diverse and beautiful wetland habitats. To maintain the area’s amazing biodiversity and aquaculture, they take a gentle approach at teasing their plump and juicy mussels from their muddy beds without disrupting the stone layers beneath. This is a far cry to the harsh dredging used by some. Their softer and slower approach allows the high density of fish, crabs and sponges that build up on these ‘underwater rain forests’ to be maintained.
