Kind Words
If you crave some fresh fish but have to get it in a frozen form, you won't be sorry if you try the Chatham Island Food Co. The blue cod is just delightful and makes you realise quality when you eat it. Snap frozen in easy to use packs, a lovely taste and makes you compare some other 'so called fresh' fish that you can buy. What they claim is what they deliver!
Saw this company originally on Country Calendar and tasted their Blue Cod at the Food Show. Ordered their 2kg pk and arrived today very smartly after being shipped frozen yesterday. Great service and looking forward to my Cod dinner tonight. I'm sure it will be just as Yummy as it was at the Food Show!!!
I saw Chatham Island Food Co featured in the Sunday Star Times mag, and promptly placed an order for their blue cod pack. Ordering online was simple, delivery amazingly fast and as for the fish .... absolutely delicious! I will definitely be ordering again and recommending Chatham Island Food Co to my friends.
First time purchasers of Chatham Island Blue and OMG. We were blown away 1- with the very quick delivery. 2 - with the quality, it was still frozen when we received it. 3 - the taste was better than any blue cod we have had before and we have had plenty over the years. We will definitely be repeat customers.
This Chatham's Blue Cod is so fresh that it's as if we had only caught it ourselves that morning. It arrives so professionally prepared & presented that you can just about see a big smile on each fillet as there is on our faces as we prepare it in the numerous options available. But the Paua is also a prime choice as well. Top marks to all concerned, this is excellent fresh fish and delivery. We visited the factory in March, and the standards are very high as is the hospitality on the Island; So YES next year we will return, but to include Pitt Is, this time around.
Awesome fish, best cared for fish I have purchased. These guys know how to set the best standard in the industry. Highly recommend if you love fresh NZ cod. Have ordered 4 times now. and will order more.
The taste of home
To us, Chatham seafood goes beyond just flavour and texture. It has that indefinable thing that captures a spirit of place, in the same way that really good wine reflects its terroir.
Sustainable fishing
Pot caught fishing is highly selective, with minimal impact on the marine environment. Unlike some methods, there’s no unnecessary by-catch and juvenile fish can swim free, sustaining the species and our industry.
Culinary excellence
It’s long been New Zealand’s secret, but international chefs are now putting Chatham seafood onto their menus and onto the plates of a new world of diners.
our difference
When our ancestors first arrived on the Islands they discovered a land of plenty, yet they only ever took what they needed.
We were brought up to respect this bounty as a precious resource, which is why we choose to fish the way we do today. We strictly manage our numbers under the New Zealand Quota Management System so that we can protect our ocean and ensure a sustainable future for our friends of the sea. This way our champion remains a pristine prize to share now and for years to come.
Home Delivery
You can now enjoy our premium seafood without leaving your home. We offer home deliveries NZ wide.
Premium Quality
Our strict QA guidelines ensure our catch is handled with the upmost care from the moment it leaves the ocean until it arrives at your door.
Sustainable
Our low impact pot-caught fishing method is highly selective, with minimal impact on the marine environment. There’s no unnecessary by-catch and the juvenile fish can swim free, sustaining the species and our industry.
