Foraging the tide line

Gathered by hand, at the edge of the water

We work the same few hundred metres of coast, at the hour the tide pulls back. Mussels prised from wet slate, cockles raked from the sand gutters, periwinkles picked one at a time. Everything is sorted on the rocks and carried up in baskets, never dredged.

Low-tide freshness

From the rock to the box in one tide

Shellfish are cold-chained from the moment they leave the water. Baskets go straight into chilled storage, get weighed, graded and packed the same day, then travel in insulated liners dispatched from New Zealand. Nothing sits in a warm van waiting for a courier.

Our story

A small crew, one stretch of coast

Four of us, two boats and a shed above the high-water mark. We started packing shellfish for friends who wanted to cook what we were catching, and the list never stopped growing. The rules have not changed: take only what the tide can replace, and send it out cold.
