This is what Blackbeards is all about! Fresh Coromandel mussels (at their peak and looking especially plump and juicy at the moment!) and freshly shucked oysters, direct from the farms to your table.

These oysters mark a pivot from us to focus on quality oysters, freshly arrived from the farms and shucked by us! We have pots, halfshell and wholeshell options available today. We will also be smoking some, which will be available next week.

We love bringing the very best shellfish to our customers, and this week we're definitely delivering.

With 'Functional' foods being very on-trend at the moment, we've been wondering if we've been marketing these all wrong... 🤔

Forget protein powder. Have you tried smoke-infused marine muscle makers?

These aren't smoked mussels. They're wild-grown wellness nuggets!

"A serving of ocean-grown protein pods, please."

The funny thing is... mussels really are "The Original Protein Bar", packed with protein, omega-3s, and loaded with vitamins and minerals.

We'll probably stick with calling them smoked mussels though. 😆 If you have any better ones - let us know!

After a bit of time away, we're pleased to be back and serving up the best of coro seafood!

We've got plenty of fresh favourites in store, including fresh Coro mussels, flounder, kina and oysters! Kahawai has just been freshly smoked and is available today also.

We're also moving to our winter trading hours - the shop will now be open Wednesday till Friday 10am - 4pm. This timing fits in with the mussel truck movements and allows us to bring you the freshest mussels direct from the farms.

Photo dump from the last 7 days because honestly… it’s been a bit wild.

Spent 4 days at the boat show sampling and selling sauces plus mussels, which was full-on but lots of awesome feedback and plenty of chats with people who love our products. Ate more than my fair share of Mahurangi Oysters who had a stand not far from us.

Made it home for a day before heading back to Auckland to talk mussels and hot sauce with the GM of merchandising at Farro, then straight into the Outstanding Food Producer Awards where we got to celebrate bringing home 2 Golds.

Did not take enough photos but pretty surreal getting to chat with people like Peter Gordon and Ming & Zarn from The KUTAI GUY along the way.

Bit bumpy getting back to reality but our orders are packed and out the door so looking forward to the weekend!

Back at the Boat show!

We’ve been loving the chance to connect with the New Zealand boating community today. There’s something special about being surrounded by people who share a passion for the ocean, great seafood, and getting out on the water.

If you’re at the show today, come over and say hi! We are sampling the mussels and hot sauces.
