PENN COVE MUSSELS

Scientific Name: Mytilus Trossulus 

Size: 2.5" - 3"

Availability: Year Round

Packed: Packed in 5 lb., 10 lb., and 25 lb. units. Approximately 25-30 mussels per pound.

Grown: Penn Cove, Coupeville, WA.

Description: Grown via rope culture enables the mussels to grow to harvest size within one year.

Penn Cove Mussels spawn in the early spring and are therefore wonderful during the summer months through winter.

The fast growth rate in the nutrient rich waters insures a firm texture with a flavor sweeter than any other mussel, with not a trace of sand or grit.

Since they grow so fast, the shells are thin and the meats are very full, yielding more mussels per pound and portions per pound than other mussels.
