“Not All Mussels Are Created Equal” For over twenty years Atlantic Aqua Farms and our Canadian Cove brand mussels have set the highest standard of quality in the North American mussel industry. Today we are the #1 grower and processor of live mussels in North America.
Why are Canadian Cove Mussels the Best? We are the largest fully-integrated grower and processor of live mussels in North America. We control leases in 7 growing areas around PEI and 4 growing areas in Nova Scotia. In addition we have long-standing relationships with independent growers, ensuring a consistent supply of the world's best mussels year-round. Our multiple geographic locations allow us to ship high quality mussels 12 months a year. We only use seed from cultivated collector lines. Our farming densities are extremely low, so we have fewer mussels competing for the available food in the water column. This is why we consistently produce mussels with high meat yields.
Our processing equipment is state of the art, and we take many extra steps in processing our mussels to minimize stress and maximize shelf life. We have a very tight grading standard, and strive for uniform size mussels in all our packs.
