Pepus – Mussels in Pickled Sauce (Mejillones en Escabeche)

Tender Spanish mussels in a rich, tangy escabeche marinade

Pepus Mussels in Pickled Sauce (Mejillones en Escabeche) are a true taste of Galicia, Spain — tender, plump mussels carefully selected, cooked, and preserved in a traditional escabeche sauce made from olive oil, vinegar, paprika, and bay leaf.

The result is a beautifully balanced combination of briny sweetness and gentle spice, with a smooth, tangy finish that perfectly complements the natural flavour of the mussels. Enjoy them straight from the tin, on toasted bread, or as part of a tapas platter with olives, charcuterie, and a crisp white wine.

Produced by Pepus, a respected name in Spanish conservas since 2003, these mussels capture the authentic spirit of coastal Spanish dining — flavourful, artisanal, and effortlessly elegant
