Zeeuwse Mosselen, or Zeeland mussels, are a popular seafood delicacy from the province of Zeeland in the Netherlands. These mussels thrive in the clean, nutrient-rich waters of the North Sea and are harvested during the cooler months, typically from July to April. Known for their plump, tender meat and slightly sweet flavor, they are a staple in Dutch cuisine. The mussels are often prepared in various ways, including steaming with herbs, garlic, and white wine. They are commonly served with fries and mayonnaise, making for a traditional Dutch meal. Their sustainability and quality have earned them a reputation both locally and internationally.
