Learning All About Mussels!

In early December, Balshaw's were thrilled to receive two batches of free rope-grown mussels that were kindly donated by Offshore Shellfish. We were 1 of 200 schools to be chosen for this exciting venture! The reason for the donation was to enlighten our students about the nutritional value of fish/shellfish and to enhance their culinary skills.
