30 YEARS OF DEDICATION TO QUALITY
Since our beginning in 1978 our goal has been simple : To be unsurpassed in the industry for satisfying our retail customers with a dedication to impeccable service, providing the best and freshest possible mussels and shellfish products, food safety and innovative Aquaculture techniques.
Pristine setting - superior product All of Great Easterns' mussles are harvested from certified waters. Young, quick-growing mussels will have jet black shells and a good meat to shall ratio. Since our mussels are purged overnight in cold Maine Sea water, they are never sandy or gritty. Because all of our mussels are processed by European-style debyssing machines, they will have their beards removed and will be easier for the chef or home cook to prepare. Our mussels are hand-picked and inspected, so rarely will a broken shell or barnacled mussel make it off the processing line. We pack in false bottom boxes so iced mussels never sit in melted water.
Mussels are custom-packed each morning when the order is placed. Trucks arrive at the airport in Boston or at East Coast transfer terminals each night insuring the freshest possible shellfish.
