A Tasmanian take on the classic pickled mussel, with plump mussels from Freycinet Marine Farm dressed in a gently spiced pickling liquor inspired by pink gin. Expect a lovely balance of sweet, sour and aromatic spice, with the natural richness of the mussels giving the pickle plenty of depth.
 
Serve chilled as part of a seafood platter, alongside crusty bread or straight from the tin with a crisp salad. They’re particularly good with a dry Australian Riesling or a Spanish Albariño.
 
Ingredients: Mussels (mytilus galloprovincialis ), sugar, salt, vinegar, Tasmanian mountain pepper berries, juniper berries, coriander, cinnamon, cardamon seeds.
 
About Freycinet Marine Farms:
Freycinet Marine Farm is a Tasmanian aquaculture producer based on the east coast of Tasmania, in the spectacular Freycinet region. The farm is particularly well known for its mussels and oysters, grown in the clean, cool waters around the Tasman Peninsula and Freycinet coast.
Their approach is very much about letting the quality of the local shellfish do the talking, with the mussels harvested at their best and prepared to showcase their natural sweetness and texture.
