Meet our Mussels
After 124 years of perfecting tinned fish, we're opening our first shellfish. King Oscar mussels are ASC-certified, naturally wood smoked, and hand-packed in extra virgin olive oil. With three distinct varieties, they're worth a proper introduction.
If mussels feel unfamiliar in tinned form, you’re in the right place. This is a different corner of the seafood world: a little meatier, a little smokier, and surprisingly easy to work into the way you already cook. Packed with protein and high in iron, they come in three varieties, each one suited to a different mood. Whether you're building a board for the holiday weekend or just need something quick on a Tuesday night, there's a tin for that.
Classic and Mellow: Smoked Mussels in Extra Virgin Olive Oil
New to mussels? Start here. Rich and mellow, the smoke is present but never pushy. This is the kind of tin that earns a permanent spot in your rotation and gets opened more often than you planned. Fold into warm pasta with a handful of fresh herbs and let the oil become the sauce, spoon over leafy greens with a sharp vinaigrette, or eat straight-up with good bread nearby.
Light and Bright: Smoked Mussels with Lemon in Extra Virgin Olive Oil
This is a tin fit for summer celebrations. Wood-smoked mussels get a lift from lemon that makes everything feel a little more like an occasion. They’re bright enough for warm weather and assertive enough to anchor a board. Set them out with crackers, good cheese, and a handful of cornichons and let guests build their own perfect bites. Spoon over a grain salad for something more substantial, tuck into a picnic basket alongside olives and cured meats, or serve as a starter that disappears before dinner does. They travel well. They disappear faster.
Bold and Smoky: Smoked Mussels with Chili in Extra Virgin Olive Oil
For those who want their tin to have a point of view and a little kick. The heat here is deliberate and layered, built into the smoke and oil rather than sitting on top of it, which means it works as well as part of a dish as it does eaten straight from the tin standing at the counter. Spoon over warm rice for a fast, satisfying bowl. Scatter on toast with a little ricotta to balance the heat. Fold into scrambled eggs on a morning when you want breakfast with more personality. Or skip the plate entirely and pair with your favorite cracker.
