Shelled Chilean Mussels Mytilus chilensis 200/300, 10% Brine, Frozen 1 kg

What it is

Shelled Chilean mussels are frozen Mytilus chilensis, size 200/300, with 10% added brine. The shells are removed, so the product can move directly into seafood preparations after controlled thawing.

Producer and format

The product is supplied in a 1 kg pack, a practical unit for seafood preparation and controlled portioning.

Organoleptic profile

Expect a tender mussel texture and a clean marine profile, with the added brine contributing seasoning. The 200/300 size is suited to dishes where the mussel remains visible without being oversized.

Professional uses and quantities

Use in pasta, risotto, seafood soups, sauces and cold starters. Thaw and dose according to the recipe, allowing enough mussels to distribute evenly through the dish and adjusting salt for the brine.

Errors to avoid

Do not refreeze after thawing, leave the product warm for long periods or add salt before tasting the cooking liquid. Avoid overcooking, which makes mussel meat firm and dry.

Storage and handling

Keep frozen according to the pack instructions. Thaw under refrigeration, keep the product cold during preparation and use it promptly; follow the label for the final storage and consumption limits.
