Picton’S Best Kept Secret! I always like to place two separate orders for myself, one (1) hour before the departure time of the ferry to Wellington. I’m yet to be disappointed with my selection of twelve (12) mussels and wedges. Wrapped and placed in a plastic carry-bag, which they provide. In this manner, I’m able to avoid the hefty prices, which are charged aboard the ferry and enjoy the beauty, which is the Marlborough Sounds going by. On the observation deck of the Aratere’s bow, out of Picton.
