OUR FARMS
Our oysters feed off the nutrient rich tidal movements of the Saldanha bay while being suspended from long lines that float just below the ocean surface. The mussels naturally settle on long ropes suspended off anchored rafts. These ropes replicate kelp like tendrils and descend deep into the blue, drifting freely in the ocean currents.
After 12 months of mother nature performing her work, we haul our ocean harvest from the depths, producing the world’s finest oyster and mussel.
SALDANHA BAY
Pristine waters fed by the icy and nutrient rich Benguela current, provides some of the finest growing conditions in the southern hemisphere. These conditions directly influence the superior flavour of our harvest. To many, this natural deep-water site produces some of the best oysters and mussels in the world.
WHY THE MUSSEL MONGER
It’s a chefs direct connection to our harvest, superior farming techniques and mother nature’s remarkable work.
OUR CAPE TOWN DC
For convenience, we’ve built a holding tank facility within the V&A Waterfront, Cape Town at Makers Landing. From our viewing depot, we distribute live produce and provide daily collection options.
