"Think its owned by a kiwi as well lol. Any of the brothers experienced this before? I hope I'm not the only one!
"My wife was saying to me last night she should have videoed me opening it up as the look on my face was priceless as this was Māori hunger as I had to consume!
"I was just thinking is this the new Covid-19 mussel separating the batter from the mussel!"
While he was a bit disappointed with the meal, the Kiwi father saw the funny side of the blunder.
He wasn't the only one who had an opinion on the disastrous meal. Hundreds of Kiwis lined up to make fun of the "disgraceful" meal.
"Na ask them what planet they are from? They are in the wrong industry if they think that s*** is ok," one said.
Another added: "Battered shells! Do you want mussels with that my bro!"
Some suggested the way it was cooked is a disgrace to the food and the Kiwi and Māori culture.
"Lol bro that's a disgrace to our ways of the kai moana. Not how we roll back home," one said.
One father added: "This is da best made me cry! I will never moan about my kids making my toast!"
