Wild-Caught NZ Seafood Exports to Asia

Westfleet exports premium fresh and frozen wild seafood to Asia's most discerning fish markets and restaurants.

Asia is where Westfleet's premium product really shines. Sashimi-grade hoki, kingfish and snapper land in Tokyo, Hong Kong and Shanghai daily — and frozen container programmes feed wholesalers and processors across Japan, Korea, China, Taiwan, Singapore and beyond.

We've spent decades building these relationships. Asian buyers are exacting — and that's exactly the standard our owned supply chain is built to meet. From species-specific bookings for top Tokyo sushi counters to large-volume IQF programmes for Chinese retail, we cover the full spectrum.

If you import wild NZ seafood into an Asian market, talk to us — we'll quote against your current supply and back it with the kind of reliability only an end-to-end owned chain can deliver.

What we deliver here

Fresh Fish Export to Asia

Daily airfreight of sashimi-grade wild NZ fish into Tokyo, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Seoul and Singapore. Snapper, hoki, kingfish, gurnard, ling — packed in temperature-controlled cartons and timed for arrival before morning markets and afternoon prep. Westfleet handles MPI certification, destination paperwork and airline coordination. Our Asian customers — including some of the world's best sushi restaurants and seafood importers — value the consistency of an owned supply chain: same vessel, same factory team, same standard, every box.

Frozen Fish Export to Asia

Weekly reefer container loads of IQF, blocks, fillets and portions for Asian wholesalers, processors and retailers. We're set up for both food-service spec and retail spec, with packing options to suit Japanese, Korean, Chinese and Southeast Asian markets. Frozen-at-sea options for the most quality-sensitive programmes; factory-frozen for high-volume retail. Long-standing programmes with major importers in Japan and China give Westfleet deep familiarity with destination-market expectations.

Wholesale Seafood in Asia

Container-load volumes for Asian wholesalers and large-scale processors, backed by Westfleet's owned quota and fleet. We commit to long-term programmes confidently — which is what Asian buyers need to plan their own customer commitments. Multi-species mixed loads make economic sense even for smaller importers. Pricing tiers reward standing volume. Most Asian wholesale customers have been with us for years; we'd love to add your business to that list.

Restaurant Supply in Asia

Bespoke fresh fish programmes for top sushi counters, hotel groups and fine-dining restaurants in Tokyo, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Singapore. Direct chef-to-fisherman conversations: tell us what you want, we'll book the vessel and the cut. Many of Asia's most awarded kitchens trust Westfleet for wild NZ kingfish and snapper because they know the boat, the team, and the cold chain — there's no anonymity in our supply, only accountability.

Private Label & Retail Packing for Asia

Wild NZ seafood packed to your Asian retail or food-service brand spec. We work to Japanese, Chinese, Korean and Southeast Asian labelling regulations, multilingual packaging, and destination-market formats. Whether it's a premium IQF retail line for a Japanese supermarket chain or a value pack for Chinese e-commerce, Westfleet's supply chain delivers the quality story that wild NZ fish deserves.
