ResumoABSTRACT Proximate composition of blue mussels Mytilus edulis collected in Duxbury Bay, Duxbury, MA, was determined monthly on fresh mussels and after frozen storage. There was seasonal variation in proximate composition. This seasonal variation in the blue mussel affects the freezer life of the cooked product. Mussels harvested in the spring retain their sensory acceptability for longer than fall or winter mussels. Frozen storage does not affect the composition of the initial product, fat, moisture, ash and extractable protein remaining constant over frozen storage.
