Be first to hear what is landing each week, and what is worth cooking.
NEW ZEALAND SEAFOOD, LANDED DAILY
Landed this morning,
on the fire tonight
Kaimoana from the day’s landing — chalked up on the board, packed on ice, and couriered anywhere in New Zealand.
CHALKED UP THIS MORNING
Written up while the ice was still on it
The board turns over with the tide. Whatever is chalked up here came off a New Zealand boat before sunrise.
OFF THE SLAB
Frozen Boston Lobster
$89.90
Whole, cold-water, sweet meat. Chalked up the morning it lands.
CUT THIS MORNING
Cod Steaks
$44.90
Thick centre-cut steaks, bone in. They hold together in the pan.
TAKE A BEARING
Four points, four things worth cooking tonight
Set your course by whatever is landing well this week. Every cut is graded, iced and priced the day it comes ashore.
FROM THE LOG
Where tonight's catch came from
CAPTAIN’S LOG
Caught off the Marlborough Sounds, where the tide runs cold and clean. Our fishers go out at first light, haul by hand, and land the catch the same morning it is packed.

Marlborough SoundsWild · line-caughtOUT OF THE CRATE
Packed the way a New Zealand wharf has always packed it
Lids off, ice in, plate on the side. What you see in the crate is what gets weighed out for you.
TURN THE DIAL
Pick a shelf, the stove does the rest
Three shelves, three ways to cook. Turn the dial and the fire is already lit.
FROM THE ORDER BOOK
Notes left by people who cooked it
We keep the slips. These are the ones that came back with a line written on them.
Came up from the coast overnight and was still cold to the touch. Straight onto the grill and gone in ten minutes.
M. TAVITA · Wellington
Ordered Tuesday, cooked it Thursday. The meat was still sweet and firm and the shell came away in one piece. That tells you everything.
R. NGATA · Christchurch
Sliced it for a barbecue that got rained off, so we seared it inside instead. No gaps, no grey edges, nothing wasted.
H. PEREIRA · Tauranga
