Jump on the boat and we’ll show you what goes into every pack ⛴️

Out here in the Marlborough Sounds, harvest day looks a bit like this - ropes in the water, whatever weather rolling through, mussels growing in clean tidal flow, and plenty of time spent checking lines before anything ever reaches the factory.

These photos were taken across different seasons and different years, but the work behind them is much the same. Growing good mussels takes time, good water, and plenty of patience.

Three generations in and we’re still out here doing it!

We make shellfish easy.

The ocean has been doing its job for a long time. The question is whether we've been doing ours?

World Ocean Day is June 8.

We've been farming Greenshell™ mussels in the Marlborough Sounds since 1978 and the thing about mussels is they don't need much from us.

There's no feed, no fertiliser and no additives. Basically, they filter the water as they grow.

The ocean doesn't need our help, just our respect and we love that.

Reimagining our relationship with the ocean doesn't have to start with a grand gesture. Sometimes it starts with paying attention to where your food comes from.

You were going to make spag bol again, weren't you?

This one takes about the same amount of time and trust us when we say, it's got a lot more flavour!

Cherry tomatoes, white wine, garlic, and Omega Greenshell™ mussels over fettucine... 😋 The sauce does most of the work while the pasta cooks. Get some crusty bread on the side to mop it all up, and you've got one delicious dish the whole family will love.

Save this for when you're craving a winter warmer 😍

Most people think of mussels as dinner but the ocean thinks of them as infrastructure.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if all filter feeders disappeared from the ocean?

The answer is.... More than you'd think, and faster than you'd expect.

Mussels, oysters and clams are the ocean's water processing system. Remove them and algal blooms take over, water clarity collapses, aquatic plants die without light and the food chains built on top of all of it follow.

Scientists estimate that without filter feeders, dead zones (areas of ocean so depleted of oxygen that most marine life cannot survive) - would double in size within decades.

We've already seen what that looks like in parts of the world where shellfish populations have collapsed.

One mussel filters up to 65 litres of water a day. Before it ever reaches your plate, it's already done something useful and that's pretty cool! 🌊

Winter comes around, the colds start to creep in and everyone starts frantically upping their Vitamin C intake.

Vitamin C gets all the credit this time of year, and yes, it plays a role - but zinc is arguably doing more for your immune system, and nobody's talking about that!

Greenshell mussels are high in zinc, vitamin C, iron, protein and omega-3. There's no need for supplements or a juicer, just heat, eat and enjoy.

Omega Mussels are real food that covers more nutritional ground than most people realise, and when they can be ready in minutes, they're a great choice for when you're run down, and dinner still needs to happen.

What you're looking at is basically dinner, because not much happens between here and your plate 😋

Off the ropes, the mussels are scrubbed, graded and partially debearded - then sealed and lightly cooked in their own juices.

No preservatives are added because there's no need for them.

What ends up in the pouch is pretty close to what came out of the water, and we think that's the best kind of nutrition.

The green part of the mussel is just like a passport.

Only one country issues them - New Zealand.

Perna canaliculus... That's the species native to New Zealand, found nowhere else on earth - and that green edge on the shell is how you know.

Most mussels you'd encounter in Europe or further afield are blue or black. They're a different species entirely. Smaller, with less meat and a different flavour.

Our Greenshell mussels are grown in the Marlborough Sounds, which, as it turns out, suits this particular species very well because the water is cold, clean, and constantly moving.

New Zealand.... Home to the Kiwi, L&P, jandals and the Greenshell mussel.

Stop overthinking dinner.

What’s in the fridge, what goes together, what you’ve got time for… it’s often the part of the day where things start to feel a bit overwhelming.

We've come to your rescue with Omega Mussels.

They’re already scrubbed and partially debearded, so all that’s left to do is heat them through in your favourite sauce… or even easier, serve them just as they are.

Keep a pack or two in your fridge for those nights when you just don’t know what to cook. With a 12-month chilled shelf life, they’re always ready when you are.

No overthinking required around here, because we make shellfish easy!

P.S. If those garlic, white wine, creamy mussels are making you hungry... the recipe is on our website:

Golden, crispy, a little bit spicy - and very easy to eat more than you planned 😍

These mussel, corn and jalapeño fritters are perfect for a shared platter, easy lunch, or something a bit different for dinner!

You’ll need:
1 pack Omega Mussels
¼ cup milk
½ cup self-raising flour
½ tsp curry powder
Pinch of salt and pepper
1 egg
80g sweet corn kernels
2 spring onions, finely sliced
20g jalapeños, finely chopped
2 tbsp canola oil
2 tbsp butter

For the horseradish mayo:
½ cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp horseradish cream

How to make them:
Remove the mussels from the pouch, take the meat from the shells, check they’re clean, then roughly chop.

In a bowl, whisk together the milk, flour, curry powder, salt, pepper and egg until smooth. Add the sweet corn, spring onion, jalapeños and chopped mussels, then mix well. Pop the mixture in the fridge for 30 minutes to chill.

In a separate bowl, mix the mayonnaise and horseradish cream together.

To cook, heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the canola oil and butter and let the butter melt and foam slightly. Spoon the fritter mixture into the pan, leaving a little space between each one. Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Serve hot with the horseradish mayo.

Save this for later!

We don't add ANYTHING to our mussels, because nothing more is needed?

Mussels simply pull in seawater, feed on phytoplankton and get on with growing - all while cleaning the water around them.

There's no need for feed or fertiliser, because they rely only on the ocean around them, and that's exactly how we like it.

New Zealand’s waters play a big part in that. Remote and close to Antarctica, they’re some of the cleanest in the world and rich in phytoplankton = the building blocks of ocean life. It’s what mussels feed on, and what gives them their natural nutritional profile.

Healthy seas make healthy shellfish.
