This product is a 1 kg bag of whole frozen Pacific mussels (IQF). The mussels are of the species Mytilus chilensis and originate from Chile, where they are farmed. These mussels are selected according to a strict size range of 60 to 80 pieces per kilogram (including shells), ensuring a consistent size. They are cooked and then individually quick frozen (IQF) in vacuum-sealed bags. They have a typical black shell and ivory to orange flesh, with a controlled glazing rate.
Professional culinary uses:
Frozen cooked mussels are a very practical solution for professionals, as they eliminate the need to sort, clean, and cook fresh mussels:
► Seafood garnishes and dishes: Ideal for paellas, seafood risottos, fish soups, or as a garnish for fish dishes.
► Quick preparation: As they are already cooked, they only need to be reheated or thawed before being added to a sauce (marinière, cream, etc.).
► Cost and Loss Control: The 60/80 size and 1 kg bag format make it easy to control portions. The product is stable and does not generate any loss due to sorting or unopened mussels.
Storage and preparation tips:
► Storage: Frozen product to be kept at a minimum temperature of -18°C until the best-before date indicated.
► Thawing: Consume quickly after thawing.
► Precautions: Never refreeze a thawed product.
► Portionable: The 1 kg bag can be used in its entirety or measured out.
These whole scallops with coral (Patinopecten yessoensis) are dredged in FAO zone 61 (North-West Pacific, Japan). Raw, frozen IQF product, size 10/20, with MSC certification guaranteeing sustainable fishing.
Culinary uses:
These scallops with coral are particularly prized in gourmet restaurants for their tender texture and delicate flavour. Ready to use after thawing, their generous size lends itself equally well to quick pan-frying and more elaborate preparations: carpaccio, ceviche, low-temperature cooking or au gratin in the shell. The coral, which is melt-in-the-mouth and slightly salty, enriches homemade sauces and bisques.
Storage:
Frozen product to be stored at -18°C. Never refreeze a thawed product. Consume within 24 hours of thawing (store at +4°C).
Packaging: 800 g bag (≈ 10 to 16 pieces depending on size).
