The Tangaroa Seafoods Difference
We are blessed by nature in Hawke’s Bay to be located in a fishing transition zone between where the Northland and Southland sea currents meet.
We are also fortunate to have a business like Tangaroa Seafoods bringing us the freshest fish possible every day to their retail store in Ahuriri and straight to some of our favourite Hawke’s Bay Restaurants.
Here are six things you should know about what makes Tangaroa Seafoods the freshest export quality fish available in the market anywhere in New Zealand.
1. Shorter Fishing Trips ensure the quality of the landed fish is maintained. Tangaroa tend to take the last one or two days catch for the Tangaroa Ahuriri Retail Store and present to customers the freshest export quality fish available in the market anywhere in New Zealand.
2. Shop from the Tangaroa Ahuriri Retail Store where fish is cut continuously as demand requires. If you come in at 10am, the fish will have been cut within hours. You can bring a chilli bin to preserve the freshness or buy it on your way home from work.
3. Fish is caught for the local market meaning our best fish remains in New Zealand for purchase at our Tangaroa Ahuriri Retail Store instead of being exported.
4. Long-lined fish results in a better quality fish because it’s not damaged by squashing in the trawl and the fish is not physically stressed when caught. Tangaroa runs five boats from Hawke’s Bay, three of these are long-liners.
5. Ice slurry preserves the fish straight away on the boat right through to the retail store that reduces the core temperature of the fish as quickly as possible and preserve it’s condition and freshness all the way to the Tangaroa Ahuriri Retail Store.
