About Eyre Peninsula Seafoods
You simply can’t beat Australian blue mussels. Rich with a creamy texture and sweet flavour, they are the envy of mussel farmers around the world.
At Eyre Peninsula Seafoods, we are fortunate to call the pristine oceanic waters of Boston Bay home. Located off the West Coast of South Australia we harvest the highest quality native blue mussels all year round for our three premium mussel brands: Boston Bay Mussels, Kinkawooka Mussels and previously, Spencer Gulf Mussels.
We insist on exceeding the required food safety standards. We closely monitor the mussels from water to plate. Exhaustive checks and systems throughout our production process to make sure Eyre Peninsula mussels offer quality you can trust.
Ocean fresh, always
In every packet of Eyre Peninsula Seafoods mussels we take you on a water to plate flavour journey.
Our mussel farming and handling methods produce mussels bursting with flavour. We combine the best of traditional mussel farming techniques with the latest technology in everything we do.
We use our innovative SeaSure vacuum packaging to seal in their ocean fresh flavour, keeping the mussels fresher for longer. That means that you can enjoy the same delicious taste of a freshly harvested mussel at home… no matter where you live in Australia or around the world.

A global powerhouse in mussel farming
Andrew Puglisi and Mark Andrews are formidable pioneers in South Australian mussel farming. Having successfully established their respective mussel brands in the region, they saw an opportunity to join forces, combining their passion and knowledge to form a new powerhouse in mussel farming. In 2016, Eyre Peninsula Seafoods was born.
Their mission was clear – for every South Australian mussel produced to have the perfect condition, flavour and texture from water to plate. Eyre Peninsula Seafoods has quickly risen to the top – and remained there as a global leader in vertically integrated mussel farming and processing.
Busting myths with Murray the mussel
Murray, an Australian Blue Mussel is determined to bust the long-held myth that mussels that don’t open are no good to eat. Australians have thrown away around 370 tonnes of good mussels a year because of an old wives tale… but at Eyre Peninsula Seafoods, we’re here to bust the myth with Murray!
Sometimes, mussels just hang on a bit harder. But it doesn’t mean they’re not bursting with fresh flavour and ready to enjoy. Thanks to Murray the mussel’s help, you don’t need to throw away a closed mussel.
