Snapper
$9.50Battered, fried to order
Snapper off the ledges and tarakihi over the sand, iced on the boat and filleted before the shop opens. The board changes with the tide, so ask what came in before you order.
Shop Whole FishOur batter is mixed cold and rested, so it crisps the moment it hits the oil and stays crisp the whole drive home. Light on the fish, never doughy, with the frizzled edges a chippie should have.
Shop FilletsWe are a small counter between Hahei and Tairua, open six days, closed when the swell is too big to work the ledges. Everything is fried to order and wrapped in the same newsprint paper we have used since we opened.

Shop ShellfishWhere the boat goes
Three grounds we work between Hahei and Tairua. The pins mark the ledges we fish most weeks.

Three sizes, all wrapped in the same newsprint paper and twisted at the top so nothing slides out on the drive home.
Catch to counter
Four steps, every morning, from the first line in the water to the last twist of paper.
Out before dawn over the ledges, lines back in by nine.
Fillets dried, dipped in cold beer batter to order.
Two minutes in clean oil at 180 degrees.
Paper, salt, lemon, and a twist at the top.
