Fresh Fish Export
Hours-fresh whole fish and fillets, packed on ice and airfreighted globally — straight from our factories on the West Coast.
Speed defines fresh export. From the moment our fleet lands on the West Coast, your fish is processed, ice-packed and on a plane within hours. Daily departures from Christchurch and Auckland mean Sydney, Melbourne, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore and Los Angeles all see Westfleet fish the next morning.
Because we own the entire chain — boats, factory, transport — there are no third-party handovers to slow things down or compromise the cold chain. You get the same fish your buyer would pick from the auction floor, only sooner.

- Polystyrene boxes, gel ice and temperature loggers as standard
