Fresh From The Harbour

Line-caught fish, shell-on prawns and day-boat shellfish, iced at sea and packed by hand the same way our harbour families have done it since 1952.

    Since
    1952

    Three generations on the same quay. Ice, salt air and a sharp knife — that is the whole recipe, and we have never seen a reason to change it.

    A Harbour Since 1952

    Our first ice house went up on the north pier in 1952, built from timber salvaged off a wrecked trawler. Boats still land on that same quay before dawn, and the catch still goes into ice within the hour.

    What The Harbour Says

    Excellent 4.8 / 5

    • Best Rockfish On The Coast

      Ordered on a Tuesday and it was in the pan by Thursday. Skin bright, flesh firm, no fishy smell at all — exactly what the fishmonger promised.

      Marama T., Auckland

    • Shell On, Overnight

      Prawns arrived hard frozen in a proper insulated box. Heads still on, so the stock was worth making. We will be back for the scampi.

      Daniel K., Wellington

    • Scampi Like The Harbour

      Split, buttered and grilled for three minutes. Sweet as lobster and not a drop of water in the tray. My father grew up on this coast and even he approved.

      Ana R., Christchurch

      Recipes From The Crab Shack

      The shack at the end of the pier has fried, grilled and boiled everything we sell. Every pack carries the notes the family wrote down: how long to steam, when to stop, and what to do with the shells.
