Australian mussel harvest: softer, sweeter, juicier this winter season
Jamie Durrant of Essentials Magazine profiles Australian Mussels in the June 2021 food edition.
As the cooler months draw closer, the common thought is to ditch the summer seafood and reach for hearty soups and red meats to ward off the winter blues. Yet winter is when Australian mussels are at their sweetest, softest and juiciest – making them the perfect feature piece for winter warmer dishes this season.

Good Food feature
EP Seafoods Head of Sales and Marketing Richard Longden recently shared his tips for the best seafood to add to a festive charcuterie board.
Richard is also a chef and has worked in prominent roles across the seafood industry, so he certainly knows his stuff.
Of course, mussels make a perfect addition to any charcuterie board. Richard suggests to “barbecue pot-ready mussels until they all open, remove one shell, add a teaspoon of gremolata (a mix of garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, chopped parsley and olive oil) and season with freshly ground pepper.”
