Akoya are a sustainably harvested and certified carbon neutral aquaculture product. This stunning shellfish is grown in the pristine waters of Albany in Western Australia, and has a flavour reminiscent of clams, with the brininess and minerality of an oyster, and an underlying sweetness of a scallop. An extremely versatile product, Akoya are perfect cured, cooked, poached, fried or raw, and pair beautifully with a range of flavours.
Leeuwin Coast was recently recognised in the ‘delicious’ Harvey Norman Produce Awards in 2022, gaining the title of ‘Outstanding Innovation’. Creative Native are proud to partner with Leeuwin Coast to launch this stunning new product into South Australia through our network of Adelaide’s top chefs and restaurants.
For the general public, Leeuwin Coast is also hosting an event as part of Tasting Australia – where attendees have the opportunity to learn about the Akoya, and be immersed in a sensory culinary journey. Held at Light Adelaide as part of Tasting Australia on 3rd May.
