Gueyu Mar Grilled Mussels in Escabeche 180g

Güeyu Mar Grilled Mussels in Escabeche are an exceptional version of a Spanish conserva classic. Plump mussels are first grilled over charcoal, giving them a gentle smokiness, then preserved in a vibrant escabeche of olive oil, vinegar and aromatics. The result is rich yet bright: tender, briny mussels balanced by a lively, savoury sauce with just the right amount of acidity.

Made in Asturias by Güeyu Mar, this 180 g tin reflects the producer’s chef-led approach to seafood preserves. Grilling before preserving adds real depth and character, turning a familiar product into something altogether more memorable. The escabeche is beautifully balanced rather than sharp, and is absolutely worth serving alongside the mussels rather than draining away.

Perfect for an aperitivo, an easy lunch or an elevated tapas board, these mussels need very little preparation. Serve at room temperature to allow their flavours to open up, with good bread close by for the sauce.
