Hey Everyone,

Last time i went out diving i found a good patch of mussels, i was going to grab a few next time i went back but someone told me that they weren't sure if the mussels in the bay were good for eating? I was assuming they would be alright but now i am not 100% sure.

Does anyone know if they are fine?

They farm them in the bay so it can't be all that bad.

i used to own a mussel farm off cliftons springs in the early 90s and have been eating wild ones from the bay for years.try to get them from areas with a bit of current flow and you should have no dramas.would keep away from corio bay and the big piers ect.

Thanks guys for the replies. Will definitely grab myself a couple next time I head down.

keep an eye out for angasi oysters as well. You generally find them in the same spots.

What are they? never heard of them.

They are a native oyster that you find mostly in the bay. They have a stronger flavour than pacific or sydney rock oysters but if you like oysters they are heaps better than the pre shucked shit they serve in most restaurants. They absolutely rock in a carpet bag steak.
