At Pearl & the Beast, shoppers can go fishing for mussels and shuck them open themselves for shiny pearls to make their own necklaces, rings and more.

Krystal Chen, the 23-year-old Brooklynite and founder, told The Post it’s “the first and only mussel shop in the US,” and business is booming at the spe-shell 22 Howard St. shop.

“On weekends we sell around 100 mussels a day and weekdays, 20 mussels a day,” Chen said.
