Apatu Aqua Kai Moana

Apatu Aqua is a successful and innovative family owned and operated business based in the Far North of Aotearoa producing gourmet, high-end boutique kaimoana products. Established in 2005 the business includes a purpose-built export-quality factory incorporating a smokehouse and shop.

Apatu Aqua is committed to ethical harvesting and natural processing to enhance the flavour of its products and for sustainability of our beautiful environment. Preservative- and colouring-free, Apatu Aqua produces a wide range of smoked fish – Eel, Mullet, Kahawai, Tuna, Trevally, Kingfish, Roe, Gemfish and smoked salmon and fresh longline-caught vacuum-packed snapper and gurnard.

Inspired by Maori delicacies, we launched an original product, kina paté, which was awarded a National Cuisine award in 2009, garnering widespread media and industry interest.

Sought after by delicatessens, restaurants and specialist food stores throughout the North Island, demand for Apatu Aqua products continues to grow.
