"I caught some crayfish and blue cods after going fishing woth local kiwi fishmen and let this restaurant cooked them for us. Every crayfish took 25 dollars service-fee. They could cook in two different ways:stew or make it into porridge. Both are very very very delicious!Stewed fish is also gorgeous! I would never forget this meal and will come back soon!"
