A Maine family owned and operated company           WILD OCEAN AQUACULTURE, LLC

BANGS ISLAND MUSSELS are hand-raised locally in the cool, clean waters of the Casco Bay. For more than 13 years our mussels have been cultivated in complete harmony with their environment. 

Our business is based on a profound respect for the ocean. We call ourselves farmers, but really we’re facilitators, working with nature to create an ideal place for mussels to grow. Once they are eased onto our ropes suspended above the ocean floor, BANGS ISLAND MUSSELS spend their entire life in the water column. Positioned away from sandy, silty tidal zones, they mature rapidly and accumulate almost no grit on their way to your plate. The result at harvest day is vastly superior product. We bring only the sweetest, plumpest and most tender mussels to market -- with an unmatched meat-to-shell ratio. BANGS ISLAND MUSSELS offer exceptional flavor and a great value.
