Shellfish from Kalloni Gulf – Wild-Caught & Certified by DIVES MARE

The purest expression of the Aegean — captured in every shell.

At DIVES MARE – Exclusive Seafood, our shellfish come exclusively from the Kalloni Gulf of Lesvos, one of the most nutrient-rich marine ecosystems in the Aegean.
Its gentle tides and abundant phytoplankton create the ideal natural environment for shellfish to develop their distinctive, full-bodied flavour and remarkable texture.

Each shellfish is hand-harvested by professional divers, strictly wild-caught, never farmed, during the permitted fishing periods between November and August.
Every batch is certified by the DIVES MARE Shellfish Dispatch Centre, ensuring traceability, safety, and superior freshness.

 Most commonly available species include:

  • Havara (wild mussels)

  • Warty Venus (Kydonia)

  • Noah's Ark Shell  (Kalognomes)
    Other species may be available seasonally, depending on local marine conditions and regulations.

Around 95–97% of all Kalloni shellfish are exported to Italy, a testament to their exceptional quality and international reputation.
Those you select through DIVES MARE are delivered directly to you on the same day of harvest, packed in insulated ISO Box with ice, preserving their natural freshness and authentic Aegean character.

You may also pair them with any products from the DIVES MARE Boutique collection — from premium white wines and sparkling labels to fine delicatessen pairings, creating a truly refined Mediterranean experience.
