Patagonia Spicy Mussels in Extra Virgin Olive Oil — Pack of 10, 18g Protein & Responsibly Sourced

Patagonia Provisions Spicy Mussels are plump, responsibly sourced mussels preserved in organic extra virgin olive oil with red peppers, chiles, and apple cider vinegar for a tangy, shelf-stable protein snack.

These canned mussels draw inspiration from Spanish escabeche to deliver a bright, slightly spicy flavor that works straight from the tin or as a fast ingredient in pantry-forward meals. Each 3.75 oz tin provides approximately 18 grams of protein, omega-3s, and vitamin B12, while being gluten free and ready to store or take on the go. Patagonia Provisions emphasizes transparent sourcing and fishing methods designed to minimize bycatch and fuel use, so you get seafood that aims to be both flavorful and responsible.

How are these mussels seasoned and preserved?

The recipe layers organic red peppers, chiles, and apple cider vinegar to create a tangy-sweet heat reminiscent of escabeche, while organic extra virgin olive oil preserves texture and flavor. The oil both protects the mussels and adds a rich mouthfeel without refrigeration until opened.

• Organic extra virgin olive oil for preservation and flavor
• Red peppers and chiles for balanced heat
• Apple cider vinegar for tang and acidity
• Hand-packed to retain plump texture

What nutritional benefits do they provide?

Each tin offers a concentrated source of animal protein and key micronutrients commonly found in shellfish. While not a substitute for varied diets, these mussels give a convenient way to add protein, iron-friendly nutrients, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamin B12 to meals or snacks.

• About 18 grams of protein per tin
• Approximately 950 mg of omega-3s per tin
• Source of vitamin B12 and dietary iron
• Gluten free and shelf-stable for pantry storage

How can I use them in recipes or quick meals?

These mussels are versatile: enjoy them straight from the tin for an instant protein boost or fold them into dishes to add briny, spicy depth. They pair well with simple starches, fresh salads, or mixed into pasta for a fast weeknight meal.

• Eat straight from the can with crackers or crusty bread
• Toss into hot pasta with lemon, herbs, and olive oil
• Add to grain bowls or salads for savory protein
• Top a toast or open-faced sandwich with cream cheese and herbs
