The blue mussel seed, or spat, is grown in tanks then socked (as seen in this video) before being lowered into Port Philip Bay, near Melbourne Australia till maturity. You can purchase them direct from the Mussel farmers at Portarlington Pier on the Bellarine Peninsula on most Sundays and public holidays. The current price per Kilo is A$5.
There is a Mussel Festival in Portarlington on the second Sunday of January each year.
