Another beautiful day out on the bay! 🌊☀️

Our Dutch-style mussels are bottom cultivated using a harvesting method that's been refined over generations. Aboard the Stewardship, our custom-built box drag allows us to harvest mussels efficiently while avoiding contact with the seabed.

It's just one of the ways we work with the environment to bring you high-quality, sustainably grown mussels from the waters of Maine.

Enjoying meals together has always been a way to connect, laugh, and create lasting memories.

That's why we're dedicated to providing the freshest, most nutritious shellfish straight from the sea to your table.
Let's make every meal a moment to cherish.

🦪🌊 Where we harvest from matters.

At Hollander & de Koning, our mussels are grown in the cold, clean waters off Mount Desert Island, Maine. Where strong tides, steady currents, and rich coastal waters create the perfect environment for shellfish.

This is what shapes them: natural flow, pristine water, and a place we’re proud to work in every day.

It’s not just where we harvest, it’s what gives our mussels their clean, briny character and consistent quality.

From these waters, to your table. 🦪💙

🦪🌊 Harvested to order.

At Hollander & de Koning, we don’t rush the process, and we don’t over-harvest.

When orders come in, we head out on the water and carefully bring in mussels fresh from our beds in Maine. That means what you get is truly fresh - just harvested, just handled, and just out of the sea.

Our mussels grow for about 2½ years in cold, clean waters before they’re ready, and we only take what’s needed when it’s needed.

It’s a simple approach: fresh orders, careful harvesting, and mussels you can taste the difference in. 🦪💙

Our history with mussel farming runs deep.

We’ve been working in shellfish for six generations, learning the water, the tides, and what it takes to grow something truly good from the sea.

Today, we continue that work here in Maine, farming mussels in cold, clean waters using sustainable, low-impact methods that respect both the ocean and the product.

Our mussels grow for about 2½ years before they reach market size—slowly developing their flavor in the natural flow of Mount Desert Island.

For us, it’s simple: we’re carrying forward a family tradition built on patience, care, and respect for the water we depend on every day. 🦪💙

🦪🌊 We’re still thinking about this beautiful dish from Lil' Deb's Oasis in Hudson, NY.

They featured our mussels in a bold, vibrant preparation with preserved lemon, garlic, Calabrian harissa, pineapple-citrus agua, pea shoots from Hawthorne Valley Farm, and a charred lemon. 🍋🔥

A perfect reminder of how versatile and expressive great ingredients can be.

At the center of it all: our mussels from Mount Desert Island, Maine—grown for about 2½ years in cold, clean waters using sustainable, low-impact farming practices, and harvested with care.

Grateful to see our mussels in the hands of chefs like Lil Deb’s Oasis, turning them into something so creative and memorable. 💙🌊

At Hollander & de Koning, our mussels grow for about 2½ years in the cold Maine waters before they’re ready for harvest.

When the time comes, our shallow-draft vessel The Stewardship heads out and gently lifts them from the bottom using a custom box drag—carefully designed to harvest without disturbing the seabed.

Once onboard, they’re washed, sorted, de-bearded, and purged of sand so they’re clean and ready to enjoy.

We’re proud Maine shellfish farmers, and we keep it simple: sustainable methods, careful harvesting, and great mussels. 🌊💙
