RJRB Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Can these natural larger mussels still be bought anywhere,rather than the small cultivated Scottish mussels generally on offer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchresearch Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Yes, there's a cafe on the pier in Bangor which sells them. He gets them Sunday morning and sells them Sunday afternoon and Monday. Not managed to find anywhere closer because they're all snapped up and exported. But I'll keep looking. There's a pretty good fish market in Birkenhead who are asking around for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJRB Posted November 30, 2011 Author Share Posted November 30, 2011 If you can't find them on the Wirral,I don't fancy my chances here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nagel Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Yes, they sell them at the fishmonger at Ecclesall and in Penistone market. They're far superior to those tiny Scottish ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shanes teeth Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Are these the same as the large Green Lip mussels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the pointer,I will be calling there. The green lipped mussels are not a native specie ,and once again in my opinion do not compare with the Conway ones.

beckyjc Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 The fish stalls in Castle Market sell them, I bought some a couple of weeks back and they were absolutely delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I asked as I find green lipped mussels quite flavourless compared to smaller native mussels.I've never knowingly had conway mussels.Are they large like green lips?
