These mussels are grown in the clear waters of the Galician Rías, inlets along Spain's Western coast. Lightly fried and then packed in escabeche, a blend of vinegar, olive oil, bay leaf and spices. There are between 12-16 small, tender mussels and they are delicious eaten right out of the tin with fresh bread to sop up all the juice. We also love to serve them alongside boiled potatoes & aioli or lightly tossed with fresh pasta noodles. Perfect for a picnic, all you need are a few toothpicks to fish the mussels out with! At Minnow, our tinned seafood is sourced from sustainable fisheries and aquaculture, caught at the height of season and quickly processed, oftentimes by hand, at local canneries to preserve the vitamins, omega-3s, natural oils and fresh flavor of each fish.
