Mediterranean Mussels…
Mussels have traditionally been a delicacy in continental Europe, yet in America they are a best kept secret. Mussels have a delicate yet complex flavor and a buttery texture. They can be steamed or used in prepared dishes ranging from the simple to the complex. They are delicious in sauces and preparations with intense flavors. This makes them one of the most versatile and delectable shellfish alternatives.
Notes From Our Buyer

The Copper River is scheduled to open May 17th. Prices will be outrageous for the opening fish, like every year. After a week or two, prices should come back down to normal. Please let your sales person know if you are interested in the first shot of wild salmon.
The public season has closed in Texas. This means that only people with private leases will be able to harvest oysters in Texas. This also means the price on sacks has jumped up quite a bit.
