SHOP CLOSED today! Due to me (Jess) thinking repainting the shop interior would be a 'quick job'. You might not be surprised to learn, it is not infact not a quick job. Back tomorrow!

On the plus side, we will now be open Saturdays with Val kindly agreeing to cover the day!

New sardines in stock! These come all the way from the home of tinned fish - Portugal and are the real deal. They are 1000 times better than el cheapo supermarket sardines and my absolute favourite to eat (the smoked ones are the best!!) There's some mackerel and tuna which I haven't tried yet, but looking forward to doing so.

There are three very good reasons we put wakame in our hot sauce…

SUSTAINABLE- it’s harvested sustainably from the Hauraki Gulf, which fits perfectly with our commitment to using ingredients sourced and grown close to home.

NUTRITIOUS- wakame is naturally nutritious. This mighty little sea vegetable contains iodine, fibre, antioxidants and a range of vitamins and minerals. It’s one of those clever ingredients that brings both flavour and natural goodness to the table.

FLAVOUR - and most importantly, it tastes amazing with seafood! Its savoury, slightly salty umami flavour is a natural match for fresh oysters and mussels (our core biz!)

We wanted to create a sauce that celebrates where we live and the seafood we love. The result is a tasty little bottle of the Coromandel!
