🦪 A Tinned Mussel Lunch Worth Shell-ebrating

At The Last Supper, we’re always up for something a little unexpected — so we recently hosted a lunch centred entirely around high-end tinned mussels, paired with thoughtfully selected drinks from around the world (and just down the road).

Here’s what was on the tasting table

🇦🇺 Little Tin Co Smoked Mussels (Port Lincoln, SA)

Paired with: NV Sittella Sparkling Chenin Blanc Brut

Smoky, rich, and proudly South Australian — perfectly balanced by bubbles and citrus brightness.

🇵🇹 Cabo de Peñas Mussels in Escabeche (Portugal)

Paired with: Thistledown Gorgeous Grenache Blanc

Zingy vinegar and spice met its match in this lemony, floral South Australian white.

🇪🇸 José Gourmet Fried Mussels in Marinade (Spain)

Paired with: 2024 Sittella Avant-Garde Albariño

Juicy, garlicky mussels found a perfect partner in this textured and fresh WA Albariño.

🇩🇰 Fangst Blåmusling No. 1 (Denmark)

Paired with: Sin Gin Aquavit

Dill and fennel flavours in both the mussels and spirit made for a bold, botanical finish to the feast.

The event was low-key, delicious, and full of surprises — proving once again that seafood in a tin can be anything but ordinary.
