The Seafood
Meet the incredible seafood that defines our region, from freshly harvested mussels and native oysters to hand-dived scallops and more.
Australian blue mussels
Grown by our family business, Sea Bounty, in the pristine waters of Port Phillip Bay, Australian blue mussels are naturally sustainable, full of flavour and central to Portarlington’s seafood story.
Fresh from the farm, they’re plump, sweet and full of the clean flavour of Port Phillip Bay — a premium local ingredient enjoyed by leading chefs and seafood lovers alike.
Naturally sustainable
Farmed in the cool, pristine waters of Port Phillip Bay, mussels are natural filter feeders that support a healthy marine environment. Our certified organic mussels are grown and processed under strict HACCP, export-accredited and Friend of the Sea standards.
Australia’s mussel capital
Around 50% of Australia’s mussels come from Portarlington, making our coastal town the heart of the country’s mussel industry.
Mussels, reimagined
Forget everything you thought you knew about mussels. Once overlooked, Portarlington mussels are now prized by leading chefs and featured on the menus of some of Australia’s finest restaurants.
The Angasi Oysters
Our Native Angasi oysters are grown in Port Phillip Bay, where Lance, Shane and the Sea Bounty team have spent years developing this rare local oyster alongside their mussel farming.
Once abundant in the bay and harvested by Traditional Owners for thousands of years, the Angasi is prized for its rich, savoury flavour and distinctive character. Today, it offers a rare opportunity to taste one of Australia’s great native oysters in the waters where it has long belonged.

Hand-dived Scallops
Harvested from Port Phillip Bay under one of the bay’s few commercial licences, these sweet, delicate scallops are a true local delicacy. Hand-collected by divers and served fresh, they’re a standout highlight of our Deluxe Seafood Tour.
Jade Tiger Abalone
Jade Tiger abalone is prized for its delicate flavour and distinctive texture. Sourced locally and carefully prepared on board, it’s another premium Australian seafood highlight featured on our Deluxe Seafood Tour.
Ocean Aged Vintage Cuvée
Crafted from King Valley grapes, these wines spend two years maturing beneath the waters of Port Phillip Bay, directly below our mussel farm. Naturally aged in complete darkness with consistent temperatures and gentle movement, they tell the remarkable story of travelling from Victoria's highest vineyards to its lowest cellar.
