Our processes have evolved to meet the growing demands of our discerning clientele, to create better efficiencies, and to aid the preservation of our delicate marine ecosystem.
Hard working mussel growers and processors farm our coastal waters with pride. Taking 12 to 24 months to reach market size, mussels are farmed during every season, including the ice-covered bays and estuaries during our Island winters.
Once harvested, the mussels are transported to our processing plant where they are stripped from the sock, de-clumped, washed, and graded. The mussels are inspected and any broken or substandard shells are removed prior to being packed for shipping to markets worldwide.
Our company is committed to a model of continuous improvement. While we're steeped in tradition, we've always been forward thinkers who have achieved success through innovation and leadership in an industry we helped to create.
Our seawater re-use system is the only one of its kind in the Canadian industry, providing year-round water temperature and quality control. Our proprietary system vastly reduces water consumption and waste water.
Mussel King specializes in frozen, fully-cooked mussels in full shell. Within 72 hours from harvest, mussels are processed, locking-in flavour and quality, then stored in our on-site cold storage facility, making them fresher than fresh.
