I normally buy New Zealand green shell mussels. It is blessed to get these mussels for a very good deal in US. My mom is a huge fan of mussels. Each time when she come to visit me, she will definitely request me to buy lots of mussels. She told me it is very rare to get this in Malaysia, not even at Tesco, Giant or any other hypermarket. I was thinking, it is impossible, It is prevent that what my mom said was right. When I went to Malaysia for visiting. I went to several hypermarkets and it seems that no sign of these mussels, until I found it at Lot 10 Isetan frozen department. It is ridiculously expensive. The price that I've paid can almost allow me to buy 3 - 4 boxes in US. Since it is my mom's favorite, I've brought 2 boxes. Put it this way, if I used the same amount of money to buy in US which means I'm bringing home about 10 boxes of mussels. I find that mussels are very tasty and useful, I always kept some in my frozen.
