Hey all, see this public notice regarding shellfish in the Port!

New Zealand Food Safety (NZFS) is advising the public not to collect or consume shellfish gathered from Port Underwood in the Marlborough area due to the presence of toxins.

Routine tests on mussels from Port Underwood have shown levels of paralytic shellfish toxin over the safe limit.

The warning extends from north of Robin Hood Bay to Robertson Point and includes the entire Port Underwood area. Please do not gather and eat shellfish from this area because anyone doing so could get sick.

Affected shellfish include bivalve shellfish such as mussels, oysters, tuatua, p**i, toheroa, cockles and scallops, as well as pūpū (cat’s eyes) and Cook’s turban.

Cooking the shellfish does not remove the toxin, so shellfish from this area should not be eaten.

Pāua, crab and crayfish may still be eaten if the gut has been completely removed prior to cooking, as toxins accumulate in the gut. If the gut is not removed, its contents could contaminate the meat during the cooking process.

Kina and finfish are not affected by this public health warning, but we advise gutting the fish and discarding the liver before cooking.

Bit of a smash and grab for Aaron this morning. Bad viz and a swell building extremely fast in the Port. Somehow this fella still manages to get a fed.

Theory is, if you can see your hands, it's good to go!

Nice Cray from the Outer QC yesterday for Liam in some fantastic conditions.

Wettie gear doing the business!

Found this cray this arvo in an area we were chasing kings. Pretty surprised to see one so close into the sounds but was a consultation prize for having a shocker on the kings.

2.2kg buck.

Check this great initiative Chris from Marlbrough Dive Tours.

We have these stickers and Wettie Nelson next week but you can grab them at Hendersons at any stage.

Good to see a few of these guys kicking about in the region.
