Oh, that's what you call them - green-lipped mussels! Had these when I was in New Zealand. We just simply call it Coromandel mussels (because Coromandel is where they harvest these). They are very rich, chewy and delicious! Best way to cook these is to saute or in a soup.

Thanks for sharing this @exploretraveler. Never knew mussels are more nutrient-rich that I thought.
