Testimonial:
"On my journey to highlight Waikato’s food story in our new six course degustation menu I wanted to incorporate the Waikato river and its wet lands. What better than tuna, Maori for fresh water eel; an under rated delicacy.
This is where I came across New Zealand Eel in Te Kauwhata north of Hamilton, they were more than happy to help. Here they take the time to give the tuna the love that it deserves.
Smoked in an old school Dutch Smoker. This takes the tuna to the next level which is perfectly executed in their Dutch smokers and Delivered straight to my door. This is why I have used it in our menu.” Smoked tuna arancini infused with a vintage Gouda with a refreshing watercress and apple salad finished with a vibrant madras aioli.
The delicate smoke and natural oily texture of the eel is a main feature in my dish that Is why I highly recommend their products, the team at Southfish have got their products down to a fine art."
