Hooked on Flavour: A Gourmet Journey from Ocean to Plate
Learn to prepare fresh sashimi, crudo, poke, and more — straight from the sea.
Includes 1 nights accommodation | Suits 1 to 4 People
For food lovers and adventurers alike, our Ocean to Plate experience is the perfect fusion of sea, skill, and flavour. It begins with a guided fishing trip where you’ll learn to catch snapper, kahawai, trevally and kingfish using sustainable techniques and expert knowledge. We’ll explore the waters of Mangawhai, Bream Bay and maybe even the Mokohinau Islands, where we find a quiet bay and enjoy lunch, swimming and snorkelling.
Then the real magic happens back on shore. You’ll be guided through the preparation of your fresh catch into mouthwatering dishes. Think sashimi, poke, crudo, picatta, snapper and nectarine salad and more.
It’s not just a meal — it’s a hands-on culinary journey from ocean to plate. Learn new skills, taste the freshness of your catch, and share a one-of-a-kind experience. No fishing or cooking experience needed — just bring your appetite for adventure.
