This naturally pristine environment is ideal for the mussels to develop and grow as Mother Nature intended.Shetland Select mussels are grown by the Thomason family in the clean and pure waters of Basta Voe, in Yell, Shetland.
Our mussel farming has a very low impact on the natural environment and our farm managers are committed to ensuring that this precious location is protected – not only for the ongoing production of top quality shellfish – but also for the wellbeing and enjoyment of future generations.
We are very proud of our reputation for superior quality, so we maintain that by harvesting in season, when our mussels are in peak condition, and selecting by hand, so only the very best reach our customers.
This careful handling and onward transportation maintains quality and ensures that our shellfish arrive with our chefs, restaurateurs, and wholesalers in peak condition, resulting in maximum shelf life.
