About Tinned Lyme Bay Mussels - Escabeche
Rope grown Mussels are harvested from Lyme Bay, not far from our base in Brixham. They are steamed, deep-fried and preserved in a very light pickle or escabeche before being hand laid into tins.
Wonderful just as they are as a starter or tapas.

Tinned Lyme Bay Mussels - Escabeche
A very good market this morning and one worth taking advantage of while the weather is still on our side. The easterly winds are starting to build, so what’s here today is worth a proper look.
The diver-caught scallops are front and centre again and always a safe bet at that price. There are some lovely lemon soles about, monkfish is showing well, and the sea bass is worth picking up while it’s in this sort of form.
The Glenarm salmon has come in beautifully and has been portioned well, making it an easy option to take home. It’s also good to see red mullet on the market, and the wild brown trout continuing to find its place.
With around 3,500 portions across 29 species, it’s a strong midweek showing. Eat better fish.
Carpe piscem!
