New England was once the wealthiest region in the United States. Between 1850 and 1910 New Bedford was considered the whaling capital of the world. At this time whale oil and by products were more valuable than any other natural resource next to gold. The Seamen hunting these mammals were some of the richest men of their time building huge mansions along the coastline of New Bedford. They assembled the finest modern fishing fleets to hunt this ocean gem and nearly drove the whale to extinction. Today, New Bedford has transformed itself into a large scallop port along the Eastern Seaboard and produces the largest amount of shucked meats for our domestic consumption. In keeping with SeafoodS.com's commitment to providing complete regional solutions, our team has also layered in day-boat producers and aqua-culture artisans in Nantucket, Cape Cod, Boston, Glouster and many other local fisheries of the Northeast.

The term "Wild Shellfish" often brings the vision of Barnacles, Rocks, Seagrass, and other inconveniences. Meet our new Wild Mussel, the Black Gold from Chatham. They are indeed wild, but differ in two extra steps they go through before arriving to you. After harvest they are purged and de-bearded so they are ready to cook, upon delivery. The flavor is sweet and vegetal with a pillow soft texture. The complex ocean flavor lingers for some time. If it has to be great, and it has to be ready to rock, and it has to be wild... Black Gold!
