Our Story
Our Inspiration came after catching up with a local fisherman friend. We discussed all the amazing seafood New Zealand has to offer, yet how it is still hard to come across truly great Fish & Chips in Auckland and not just the "same old takeaways".
We took our passion for seafood and years of cooking and hospitality experience, to create something different: an amazing seafood inspired food truck – ‘Catch'ya Cookout’.
We deliver the freshest, locally caught seafood, taking a wide variety of what NZ has to offer to create food that will inspire your taste buds.
Sustainability of our ocean and planet is critical to us. It's a value that we hold dearly from the fish we use, to the packaging we serve it in - letting you enjoy your yummy fish guilt free.
So hopefully, we'll catch'ya around. 😀
Point of Difference
One of our key brand differentiators is to promote sustainable fishing practices and use only locally sourced seafood, and we mean it!
We combine our core values of sustainability, high-quality ingredients, and expert cooking techniques to provide a true ocean street food experience. Through quality produce, great food, education, and recipe tips, we can engage with our customers and highlight what it means to be a sustainable seafood business in New Zealand.
