If you want to create a restaurant-quality meal in seconds, our cooked mussels are your go to. With only 60 seconds needed to reheat the mussels – you’ll spend more time entertaining your dinner guests than in the kitchen. They also make a great entree or snack – as you can eat them straight from the pack. And with a shelf-life of nine months you can always keep a packet handy in the fridge.
Our mussels are always fresh, thanks to our innovative SeaSure packaging. We lock in the ocean fresh flavour so you get the best tasting mussels… every time.

Enjoy mussels any time of year
We farm our mussels in the waters of Boston Bay. This stretch of pristine South Australian coastline is the perfect place to grow mussels all year round.
As the conditions of the water change, so too does the shell size. At the start of the season in June, our mussels are typically ‘petite’ with 45-55 pieces per kilo and a meat to shell ratio of nearly 50 per cent. As the harvest year continues, the mussels grow in size to 30-40 pieces per kilo by March.
But rest assured that no matter the size of the shell, the mussel to meat ratio remains high. And the flavour profile is always perfect.

When you learn how to cook mussels, you can easily whip up a meal in minutes. Pick up a packet in your local supermarket, and you’ll wonder why you didn’t try mussels sooner.
