Wild Seafood. Direct from Our Coast to Your Kitchen.
We supply premium wild crayfish, live blackfoot pāua, kina and frozen octopus to restaurants, chefs and hospitality businesses throughout New Zealand.
Based on the Tora Coast in South Wairarapa, we're a small fishing operation specialising in caught-to-order seafood. We harvest specifically for our customers, selecting from the day's catch to meet their requirements for size, quantity and quality.
We handle the entire process ourselves, from fishing and diving, through to grading, packing and dispatch.
Our seafood is landed, carefully packed and dispatched the same day for overnight delivery. No holding tanks. No seafood sitting around waiting for a buyer. Just wild seafood, direct from the ocean.
Interested? Let us know and we’ll get in touch.
