Blue Ocean Mussels (‘the BOM’) sets out to bring the ocean to your door.  The BOM has built a legacy on harvesting and distributing a variety of live mussels and mussel products; which include whole shell mussels, frozen half-shell mussels and frozen mussel meat.

All the Blue Ocean Mussels products are branded and distributed by land or air to the best South African distributors, restaurants, fish shops and online through the BOM online shop.

The BOM farm is located at the mouth of Saldanha Bay, a prime position for harvesting clean mussels from unpolluted water. The mussels are harvested daily from 6 o’clock in the morning to ensure the freshest mussels. All mussels are graded, cleaned and examined manually by the trained staff to ensure the highest quality.

The South African National Halaal Authority also approves the mussels and packaging is done according to the National Regulator for Compulsory Specifications (NRCs) for premium packaging and to extend the shelf life.

Blue Ocean Mussels are farmed under the South African Live Molluscan Shellfish Monitoring and Control Program where daily water and weekly mussel sample testing are required for increased safety measures. Blue Ocean Mussels has been a trusted mussel producer and distributor since 1987.
