SEAFOOD FROM AOTEAROAAOTEAROA NEW ZEALAND
From New Zealand waters
A considered selection of New Zealand seafood, shaped by cool coastal waters and chosen for clean flavour, natural texture and dependable quality. Follow the story from growing region and preparation to temperature-controlled delivery.
NEW ZEALAND ORIGIN
Gathered where the water leads.
Our selection follows the New Zealand coast: geoduck and sea whelk from clean southern channels, moon snails and baby octopus from cold shelf water, mantis shrimp and whole turbot from inshore boats, whitebait from west coast rivers and sea cucumber from deep reefs.
Each product page states the species, harvest region, product form and storage direction that apply to that item. This keeps the provenance story useful and specific rather than relying on a broad country-of-origin claim.

THE COLD JOURNEY
Temperature protected, from dispatch to delivery.
01
Condition and temperature checked
Before packing, the product, seal and label are checked and the required chilled or frozen condition is confirmed. Records should be kept wherever the food control process requires them.
02
Chilled at 5°C or below
Seafood that requires refrigeration is kept at 5°C or below during transport unless its product specification requires a tighter range. Time outside temperature control is kept to a practical minimum.
03
Frozen remains frozen
Frozen seafood is held in a frozen state through storage and delivery. On arrival it should go directly into the freezer; typical household freezer guidance is −18°C or colder.
04
Insulated for the actual route
The insulated liner, cold packs or frozen media are selected around the product type, season, travel distance and expected delivery window, with sealed packs separated from loose meltwater.
Exact limits and shelf life depend on species, processing method and the product label. Product-specific storage and use-by directions always take priority; if a pack arrives damaged or unexpectedly warm, it should be assessed before use.
NEW ZEALAND TO YOUR TABLE
One journey, told image by image.
A region, not just a country
New Zealand seafood begins with distinct coastal environments. Geoduck and sea whelk are gathered from clean southern channels, moon snails and baby octopus from cold shelf water, turbot and whitebait from inshore waters and west coast rivers, and sea cucumber from deep reefs.
The useful detail belongs on the product: species, exact harvest region, whether it is wild-caught or farmed, and the form in which it is supplied.
Prepared for the product it is
Once landed, seafood is graded and prepared according to species and product form. Whole turbot, shucked sea whelk and frozen baby octopus do not share the same process, so cleaning, packing and storage instructions reflect the actual item.
Sealed packaging protects the seafood from handling and cross-contamination, while clear labelling connects the product to its batch, storage condition and use-by guidance.
Cold, sealed and ready to store
An insulated delivery box protects the order during the final route. Chilled and frozen packs are kept sealed and supported with appropriate cold media selected for the season and travel time.
At home, check that packaging is intact, read the product label, refrigerate chilled seafood promptly and return frozen seafood directly to the freezer. Thaw only according to the product directions.
SERVE IT SIMPLY
A method for each species.
The image, species and advice belong together: crisp heat for turbot, gentle braising for baby octopus and a quick fry for whitebait.
Pan-seared whole turbot
Pat the skin dry, season lightly and lay the fish into a hot pan. Let the skin colour before turning once and finishing in the oven.
Braised baby octopus
Simmer gently with garlic, chilli and lemon until tender, then finish on a hot grill for a little char.
West coast whitebait fritters
Fold whitebait through a light egg batter and fry in small spoonfuls until just set, so the fish stays sweet and delicate.
