NZ Greenshell Mussels

As the largest privately owned producer of New Zealand Greenshell Mussels we have been working with seafood importers and distributors around the world for the last 15 years and have developed a strong network for the sale and distribution of New Zealand Greenshell Mussels. As a result Pacifica Seafood's Greenshell Mussels can be found around the world from China to the Canary Islands.

New Zealand Greenshell Mussels are harvested year round with the exception of a brief seasonal supply variation in August and September due to spawning and weather variations. A rigorous monitoring program of the marine enviornment and processing facilities is overseen by the New Zealand Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry to insure that our products are manufactured to exacting hygiene standards and in accordance with USFDA shellfish standards.
