The United Kingdom is well-known around the world for its premium shellfish. Shellfish produced for human consumption in the United Kingdom adheres to strict requirements. British producers ensure that products, e.g. mussels and oysters, are safe to consume and of high quality.

Our 2nd Media event is confirmed on the 20th of February 2025. An informative and interactive day to hear from UK Shellfish experts and to prepare and cook various shellfish species. For media and influencers, contact us to reserve a spot.
