It wasn’t that long ago that mussels were virtually unknown in the U.S. outside of a few ethnic
markets in the Northeast. But aquaculture and a good marketing job by mussel producers have
made mussels one of the seafood industry’s great success stories. Today, Americans have a world
of mussels to choose from. Green shell mussels from New Zealand, blue mussels from Maine
or Prince Edward Island, Mediterranean mussels from Washington state. Most mussels are raised on
farms and have earned a green Best Choice rating from the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch
