Mussels

Blue mussels are a delicious source of protein while being low in fat and low in cholesterol. Furthermore, blue mussel farms are highly sustainable and even help improve water quality in the areas where they grow. Nova Scotians eat mussels every day, but many don’t realize that they’re cultivated right here in the province.

European Sea Bass

European sea bass, also known as branzini, were one of the first types of fish, following salmon, to be farmed commercially in Europe. They have only just started to be farmed commercially in Nova Scotia and they are raised entirely on land in closed containment facilities. It's a very tasty fish, with relatively few bones and firm flesh that holds its shape when cooked.
