A process for packing and treating mussels or other bivalve seafood comprises arranging the bivalves (10) in at least one layer in an envelope (11) which is adapted to maintain the shells (13, 14,) of the bivalves in a substantially closed condition, and thereafter heating the bivalves and envelope for sufficient time and at sufficient temperature to at least partially cook the bivalves to induce the bivalve meat to curl up within the shells. Preferably the envelope (11) is of flexible material and the bivalves are vacuum packed within the envelope such that the envelope is drawn tightly around the bivalves. Further, the envelope is preferably of a heat-shrinkable plastics material, the envelope material being heat shrunk during vacuum packing. |
