An Australian first, Kinkawooka Shellfish 'Pot Ready Mussels' are responsible for reviving an unsophisticated and undeveloped seafood category, mussels. With their unique sea-shore packaging system which recreates the mussels natural environment, keeping them live and stress free in superior condition for 10 days and arriving live, de-bearded, scrubbed and cleaned, Kinkawooka Shellfish mussels are defined by their sweet and delicious culinary characteristics as if they’ve just been plucked fresh from the ocean.
