The best of the sea for your brasserie and seaside specialities
The mussels selected by Le Delas' Atelier Marée are the result of a rigorous sourcing process, guaranteeing live, robust shellfish. This essential ingredient in traditional cuisine is characterised by its briny, tender flesh and excellent cooking properties. Packaged in 5 kg bags, this format is specifically tailored to the volumes of commercial catering, allowing for efficient management of busy service periods whilst ensuring optimal freshness.
Professional uses, preparation and storage:
► Culinary applications: A staple of brasserie menus, mussels are the essential base for the famous ‘mussels and chips', whether prepared marinière-style, with cream, or enhanced with more exotic flavours such as curry or coconut milk. They also fit perfectly into paellas, fisherman's stews or platters of hot shellfish. Their cooking liquid, naturally rich and filtered, makes a valuable sauce base to accompany white fish fillets.
► Preparation: Before cooking, rinse the mussels thoroughly under running water and discard any broken or open shells that do not close when pressed. Cook over a high heat, covered, until the shells open completely to preserve the plumpness and tenderness of the mussels.
► Storage: A live product that must be stored in a refrigerated environment, between 0°C and +4°C, in its original packaging. Ensure the mussels are kept under pressure or tightly packed in their bag to prevent them from opening prematurely, thus ensuring they remain fresh until ready to serve.
