Suspended Long-Line Grown
Our mussels hang on ropes off the long-line in the open sounds rather than sitting on the seabed. They feed on the tide all day, so the meat stays plump and sweet instead of gritty.

Two Kilos, Graded Even
Every box is weighed and graded so the shellfish cooks in one pass. Two kilos net, shells on, straight from the chiller into the pot.

A Sounds Family Story
We started with one long-line and a runabout out of Havelock. The farm is bigger now, the bay is the same, and every pack still leaves on the morning tide.

Where it comes from
Three sounds, three farm bays
Pelorus, Queen Charlotte and Kenepuru all run cold and tidal. Our lines sit in the outer bays where the water moves hardest.
-
Pelorus Sound
-
Queen Charlotte Sound
-
Kenepuru Sound
All three bays are within a two hour run of the Havelock wharf.

Sauce guide
The same shell takes all six. Each one is a two minute sauce built in the pot the mussels opened in.
Three ways to buy
Mussel packs
Everything is packed the morning it leaves the bay. Weights are net of ice and shell, so what you weigh is what you cook.
