If you love seafood and the little creatures that inhabit Irish waters, we invite you to discover an unfortunately little-known Irish specialty: the Irish mussel. As fine as Irish oysters, Irish mussels are of exceptional quality and will delight your palate!
Ireland’s ecosystem is ideally suited to the cultivation of the blue mussel, Mytilus edulis. Its rich waters enjoy a fantastic natural balance of minerals and organic elements, allowing the mussel to benefit from special care during its rearing.
Mussel farming in Ireland has recently been regulated by the BIM (Irish Marine Bureau), a body responsible for monitoring farming processes for Irish marine products. This monitoring ensures a quality mold that complies with the main charters and standards currently in force.
Renowned for its nutritional qualities and delicate flavor, Irish mussels are traditionally served with French fries or potatoes, topped off with a good pint of Guinness. Even if the dish looks simple, it’s a real delight!
By the way, if you’d like to try this type of dish, a good Irish pub in an Irish coastal village will have no problem offering it on its menu! All you have to do is try it… and enjoy!
