If you would like to get some fresh fish for dinner tomorrow night you can order here.
Our fish comes in daily from fishermen around Wellington and collaborators around the country (such as Barnes Wild Oyster for Bluff Oysters).
Our goal is to get the fish prepared and delivered to your door within 24 hours of it hitting the deck!
We deliver Monday to Friday, and cover the bottom half of the North Island (Wellington to Palmerston North).
The new rates increase will be below inflation levels.

Health and Safety is at the heart of work at Wellington Water, and that means we’ve had to be even more vigilant than ever over the last few weeks.
Here’s Foreman Don on site in Epuni keeping a careful eye on procedures.
