straight from the ocean, to your plate.

Your Fresh & Sustainable Seafood Journey.

At Tora Collective, we're on a mission to bring you the freshest, live, and wild-caught kaimoana, all while preserving the natural beauty of our backyard. Our process is designed to ensure that your seafood experience is as authentic, traceable and sustainable. Here's a glimpse of how it all comes together.

HOW IT WORKS:

  • OCEAN TO PLATE.

    In Tora, on the rugged South Wairarapa Coast of New Zealand, Tora Collective seasonally harvests wild seafood to order, and delivers it overnight straight to your doorstep. Each fish is caught by our hands only in Tora, ensuring you know exactly who caught it, when, and where it came from.

  • CAUGHT TO ORDER.

    Committed to delivering the highest-quality seafood, we go straight to the source—the ocean. We only harvest your seafood after you place an order, ensuring it arrives live and kicking the following day. This not only guarantees the freshest seafood but also aligns with our dedication to harvesting only what is needed. Our weekly harvests harmonise with nature, adapting to the weather each week to secure your catch.

  • WEEKLY HARVEST.

    Each weekend, we post the up-coming catch date on our website once we have a good view of the weather for the week ahead. This way you know exactly which date your seafood will be harvested and delivered. You can pre-order for weeks in advance in order to secure your catch for a particular event: you will be notified in advance which day your seafood will be caught, giving you a chance to cancel change the delivery if the date is not suited.

  • DELIVERED FRESH.

    You'll get a email when we set out to catch your fish. Once in hand, it's promptly packed with ice and seaweed in our eco-friendly package. By 3pm, it's with the courier in Martinborough and on its way to you. Expect your seafood to land at your doorstep the very next day. Keep an eye on your email for updates from our reliable courier, ensuring you're ready to receive your special package and get it in the fridge!
