Blanched clams have been a mainstay in the Australian market for quite some time, thanks to our friends in New Zealand. The benefits of their long shelf life and uncompromised quality make them a profitable choice for retailers and restaurants alike. Due to a shorter shelf life, the similar, delicious live mussel has historically seen much less traction in sales.
Fortunately this is all starting to change, thanks to South Australian Seafoods, who have found the perfect solution with their Blanched Boston Bay Mussels. These mussels retain the benefits of live product while eliminating the challenges of short shelf life. The rapid retort process involved in blanching extends shelf life to 6 months, without the need for anything artificial – so no more waste!
These long-shelf-life mussels are beautiful, tender and ready-to-eat. Prepare them just as you would live mussels, like in a spicy tomato or garlic and white wine sauce. This is a great solution for those who want bring mussels onto their menus but can’t guarantee fast demand.
