Green-Lipped Mussel Shell



Green-Lipped Mussel Shell by Kristine Kainer

Purchase Information

The contents of this green-lipped mussel shell were enjoyed at a recent excursion to a nearby seafood restaurant/raw bar.  Also known as the greenshell mussel, it is from New Zealand.  I must say that, despite its long journey to Texas, it was incredibly meaty and juicy.  Flavored with a little bit of garlic butter, I was in heaven.  Of course, upon seeing both the inside and outside of the shells, I had to abscond with a few (wrapped in a napkin) in my purse to to immortalize later as paintings.  Here is my first attempt.
