Product Information
New Zealand green-lipped mussels in the half-shell format — already opened and cleaned, ready for direct cooking.
Green-lipped mussels are larger and meatier than Mediterranean mussels, with a sweeter, less briny flavour that suits both Asian and Western cooking styles.
The half-shell format means presentation-ready: gratinate with garlic butter, grill with cheese, or steam in wine — all without the cleaning step.
Why This Cut?
• Half-shell format: pre-cleaned and presentation-ready
• NZ green-lipped mussels are larger and sweeter than standard mussels
• Universal versatility from French moules marinière to Thai mussel curry
How To Serve?
• Mussels gratin: top with garlic butter, parsley, breadcrumbs, grill until golden
• French moules marinière: steam in white wine, garlic, shallots, parsley, cream
• Thai green curry mussels: simmer in coconut curry with basil and chilli

Cooking Methods
1. The Garlic Cheese Bake (The Ultimate Buffet Favorite)
Because the half-shell forms a perfect natural "mini-boat," these mussels are tailor-made for topping with rich, savory spreads and baking or broiling. The topping shields the exposed meat from drying out under the elements.
2. The Quick Pan-Steam (The Bistro Style)
If you want to recreate a classic bowl of steamed mussels with a rich broth to dip crusty bread into, pan-steaming is exceptionally fast. The half-shells act like little cups, collecting the wine and butter as they steam.
3. The 4-Minute Air Fryer Garlic Crust
The air fryer is an incredibly efficient tool for half-shell mussels, turning a simple panko crumb coating into a beautifully textured, crunchy topping in minutes.
