Start your day with Malcolm from Top Catch Charters for a two-hour fishing trip off the Kaikoura coast. Once on the water, it is only a short trip to abundant fishing grounds, where you can expect some truly exceptional fishing action. The backdrop to your catch experience is impressive local wildlife such as albatross and seals and the breath-taking Kaikoura mountain range. The ocean is rich with blue cod and sea perch and you’ll also have the opportunity to check the crayfish pots.
On your return, Chef Fiona will meet you at the dock to check your catch and safely transport it to Hapuku Kitchen. You’ll have some time to take a break, grab a coffee or freshen up.
Then join Fiona at Hapuku Kitchen where you’ll learn how to prepare your catch (such as scale and fillet a fish, break down a crayfish). You’ll also have the opportunity to forage on the property for fresh ingredients. Along with Fiona and her team, you’ll cook your catch in a variety of ways. Then sit back and relax while Fiona and her team plate everything you have prepared and enjoy the feast with local wine and beer.
