How they are farmed?
The mussels naturally settle on long ropes suspended off anchored rafts. These ropes replicate kelp like tendrils and descend deep into the blue, drifting freely in the ocean currents.
After 12 months of mother nature performing her work, we haul our ocean harvest from the depths, producing the world’s finest oysters and mussels.

As always packaged and delivered beautifully and really clean on the outside. Apart from debearding no prep needed. quickly steamed over a mirepoix of carrots and leaks they were soooooo good. But some were definitely fresher and plumper than others. Will order again
South AfricaFresh from the SEA
They were fresh and big in size. Everyone loved them and would definitely recommend them! THANK YOU :)
ZAExcellent customer service, and the mussels were great too.
I ordered the 2kg box of mussels and on the day of delivery I received a phone call from a lovely man (I can't remember his name unfortunately) from Caught Online who explained that the mussels they had in stock were not up to standard and that he would prefer to wait till the following day, when fresh mussels were arriving, and deliver my mussels then. I truly appreciated this thoughtfulness and gladly accepted his offer to postpone delivery for the next day. The mussels which arrived were fresh and delicious and I would happily order them again. This sort of customer service engenders trust and repeat customers. Well done Caught Online!
