Leading chefs and restaurants prefer Kinkawooka mussels

Consumers are more health and sustainability conscious, and mussels are the perfect fit

The shift to healthier and more sustainable food options is not new. Quality eateries have been delivering diners a greater variety of menu options that showcase the nutritional value and sustainable sourcing of proteins, vegetables and herbs for a while. Many chefs have embraced the challenge to keep health and sustainability-conscious customers returning to their venues.

With Kinkawooka mussels consistently judged one the healthiest proteins on the culinary checklist and the farming practices of EP Seafoods ensuring the highest standards of organic certification and sustainability, it’s no surprise that Kinkawooka mussels are at the front of the queue in the modern food space.

Taste speaks volumes

A delightful Italian restaurant tucked away in the historic Perth suburb of Armadale serves Kinkawooka chilli mussels as an entree and main course option. It is highly popular with the locals and so well known that visitors come from far and wide to dine on the exquisite flavour of this simple, highly nutritious, and mouth-watering dish. At Taste of Italy, its Italian chefs are passionate about the food experience for their customers, insisting on the very best ingredients that are certified organic and sustainable. Kinkawooka mussels are the only mussels for this gem of the west.

Paul Hamilton is the executive chef of the famous Steamers Bar and Grill on the waterfront in Wollongong NSW. In 2021, the restaurant won the prestigious Trip Advisor’s Travellers’ Choice Award – Top 10% of restaurants worldwide.

“As the only travel industry awards based on reviews and opinions from travellers around the world, the Travellers’ Choice award is so valued because it has been determined by genuine diners themselves and the reviews they write,” says Paul.

Steamers aspires to source responsibly, knowing how and where their seafood is caught and farmed. Paul insists on Kinkawooka mussels for his seafood creations.

Maxwell’s Wines in the famous McLaren Vale of South Australia is not only one of the country’s leading wineries, it is also home to an exquisite fine dining experience.
