Mussels

Serrats mussels are not just any mussels. We only prepare and offer you large or giant mussels, the most flavourful. A high-quality product to which we add our special pickled sauce, prepared with olive oil, vinegar and spices. We hope you like these tinned mussels as much as we do.

Serrats mussels in pickled sauce are a special preserve, made with care and respecting the traditional recipe. We select the largest and meatiest specimens one by one, so that each tin offers the best of the sea.

We prepare the pickled sauce with olive oil, vinegar and natural spices, which helps us to enhance their flavour without overpowering it. The result is juicy mussels, with a firm texture and that characteristic orange colour.

In each tin you will find whole pieces, well-presented, ready to serve and enjoy.

What are the properties of mussels in pickled sauce?

Tinned mussels have a large amount of vitamin B (especially vitamin B12) and C. Both vitamins are very important for our immune system, for the formation of red blood cells and for our growth and development.

Tinned mussels are also very rich in iron (helps in the prevention and treatment of iron-deficiency anaemia), potassium (helps to control blood pressure), phosphorus (is important for the formation of bones and teeth), and in zinc (as an immune system stimulant).

In addition, mussels provide us with unsaturated fatty acids (important fats for good cardiovascular and brain health) and proteins that are very easy to digest.

Benefits of eating tinned mussels

Having tinned mussels at home is a practical way to enjoy the sea without any fuss. You don't need to cook or clean them as they come ready to serve and enjoy.

In addition to their flavour and versatility, they are a simple way to add important nutrients to your diet. Our tinned mussels are a source of vitamin B12, essential for energy and the formation of red blood cells, and iron, which helps to prevent anaemia. They also contain potassium, which helps to maintain normal blood pressure, phosphorus, key for bones and teeth, and zinc, which strengthens the immune system.

Their culinary versatility allows them to be used in all kinds of dishes, from starters to more elaborate recipes. In addition, tinned mussels retain their properties for a long time, making them a cost-effective and waste-free option. An advantage they share with other treasures of the sea, such as our Cockles from the Galician Rías.

Variety is part of the charm of our tinned mussels. We offer different sizes to suit different needs and occasions. The 8/12-piece tins with large mussels are ideal for family meals or small gatherings, whilst the extra-large 6/8-piece tins are more suitable for special starters or dishes where the mussel is the star.

Giant tinned mussels

These are mussels selected for their extra-large size, with a meaty texture and all the flavour of the sea. Each one has been hand-picked to ensure an elegant presentation and a unique experience when you open the tin.

Our tin of giant mussels in escabeche is designed for those who appreciate quality products and enjoy every detail, including the presentation, as we hand-pack them into the tin, one by one.

Large mussels: superior quality

The difference with Serrats large mussels is not just their size, but the entire process behind them. The selection is more rigorous, the cleaning meticulous, the cooking time is precisely adjusted and the escabeche is balanced to complement the natural flavour of the mollusc.

Serrats tins of mussels reflect the commitment to quality and attention to detail that defines our way of working. Each mussel tells a story of tradition, flavour and respect for the original product.

Mussels in escabeche from large tins are a complete food and easy to include in any diet. They provide high-quality protein with very little fat, so they are a perfect fit if you do sport or watch what you eat.

They are also rich in vitamin B12, essential for maintaining energy levels and forming red blood cells, and in iron, which helps to prevent anaemia. They also provide potassium, which helps to regulate blood pressure, phosphorus, important for bones and teeth, and zinc, which strengthens the immune system.

Our mussels are farmed on 'bateas', floating platforms where mussel farming takes place. This is a sustainable method that allows the young mussels to grow attached to ropes submerged in clean waters until they reach their ideal size. We only harvest the mussels when they have reached a large or extra-large size, and we do so at their peak, between late July and September, when their fat and flavour content is at its best.

This is how we produce a tinned product that, as well as being healthy, offers a flavour and texture that truly stand out.

A good tinned mussel is easy to spot: uniform size, natural colour, a firm and juicy texture, and a fresh aroma with no strange smells. A pickled sauce that doesn't mask its flavour and the pieces, neatly arranged.

At Serrats, we guarantee this from the source: we purify them in seawater, fry them in olive oil and hand-pack them into each tin. The final touch is a pickled sauce infused with bay leaf and garlic, which enhances the flavour without overpowering it.

In everything we do, we apply the same standards of excellence that have defined us for over 130 years. Whether it's our mussels or other tinned seafood like our White Tuna from the Cantabrian Sea or Razor Clams from the Galician Rías, we take care of every detail so you can enjoy an authentic culinary experience consistent with our way of working.

Tinned mussels do not require any special storage conditions. You can keep them in the pantry or in a cupboard. However, once a tin of mussels is opened, and in the very unlikely event that you don't finish it, we recommend keeping them in the fridge covered in their own pickled sauce or, failing that, in olive oil. They should be consumed within 24 hours to retain all their properties.
