I have collected them from the supports at Seacombe Ferry on decent low tides.Big clusters like Farmer Giles.

I've not been down there for a few years but you could try stopping at Penryhn Bay on one of your crabbing trips. The beach was covered in big mussels

Also attached to the oops pipe going into the sea at Llanfairfechan down to low if you are passing, the biggest ones I've ever seen.

The block on Formby beach offers very easy pickings and a some very good sized ones too. I took a bucket home one year...the walk back with such a weight isn't so fun though!

There's some massive beds at Brynsiecyn- with some monstrous specimens- the most intense colouring I've seen.
