Sales of Scottish mussels are predicted to soar as consumers prepare for the Festive period.
Cameron believes that consumers are also attracted by the sustainability credentials of Scottish rope-grown mussels. The young mussels, or spat as they are known, settle naturally on ropes suspended in the sea and feed on sea plankton found in the rich tidal flows around the west coast of Scotland and Shetland. SSMG mussels are independently certified by both the Marine Stewardship Council and the Friend of the Sea for the environmentally-friendly manner in which they are grown.
