We pride ourselves in the work that we do and the beautiful food we produce and deliver to Mills Bay Mussels customers, all over New Zealand.
Right here in the Greenshell™ Mussel Capital of the World!
At Mills Bay Mussels we are on a mission to spread happiness through delicious, healthy and sustainable food, New Zealand Greenshell™ Mussels.
One of the lowest carbon footprints of all animal proteins, almost equivalent to the plant based protein tofu!
Grown on our farms in the Marlborough Sounds, Greenshell™ mussels are unique to New Zealand. They are then hand graded, packed, prepared and served with love by our local team in Havelock.
Visit us for the freshest mussels you can get!

From the Mills Bay Mussels family to yours… A fresh, delicious, sustainable superfood!
Live and fresh local seafood for all to enjoy!
Come take a seat at the Mills Bay Mussels café located at the front of the pack house down in the Havelock Marina – the gateway to the Marlborough Sounds. A friendly team working in an open kitchen will be showcasing the many exciting and delicious ways mussels can be prepared and enjoyed.
There is also a great selection available weekly for you to take home to your whānau.
Join the Raw Shuck Revolution!
Let’s celebrate mussels together and the incredible culinary potential that this familiar Kiwi seafood offers.
Greenshell™ Mussels should be shucked raw, then cooked, not steamed open first. This ensures a perfectly tender and delicious mussel dish will be created.
