Kinkawooka Shellfish
We grow our Australian blue mussels in the Mediterranean style to be small, soft and sweet. They are tender, succulent mussels bursting with a rich and sweet flavour. Unlike big oceanic mussels from open water farming, the true quality of the bay grown mussel lies in its eating quality.
Premium mussels… all year round
At the start of the season in June, our mussels are typically ‘petite’ with 60-70 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 30-35 pieces per kilo by March.
At Eyre Peninsula Seafoods, we make sure that the mussel meat to shell ratio remains high throughout the season, and importantly that we always deliver an excellent eating mussel.
