    β€” Rahera Ohia

  • We love receiving fresh crays from Claire and Troy at the Tora Collective. We purchase them for special occacsions. As we are off grid on Great Barrier Island - there is an added degree of difficulty for the team to get them here. The packaging and delivery is always superb and the crays are super fresh and happy in their lovely seaweed beds. Love supporting local and sustainable.

    β€” Andi Ross

  • Order arrived on time as promised. The product was in excellent condition. Would definitely use this service again. Best Regards.

    β€” Peter Iehu

  • Great service. From the time that we put in the order, getting information that you were out on the water to the delivery of the paua and kina. And the kai was fresh and delicious. Will be back for more!

    β€” Cath Nesus

  • We ordered 2 x 750 gm crayfish and all our expectations were met. Great service. Good communication and helpful advice on how to prepare and cook the crayfish. We will definitely be doing this again.

    β€” Robert Hawke

  • We encountered a minor issue initially, which was caused by a delay in the delivery of our paua by the NZ courier. However, Claire promptly reached out to me as soon as she received my email and graciously offered to send us a new shipment the following Wednesday. The pauas we received were truly exceptional - they were vibrant, sizable, and incredibly delicious. Even my parents, who had travelled from overseas, were absolutely amazed by the quality. We had the pleasure of dealing with wonderful individuals who provided us with exceptional seafood. Without a doubt, we will be returning for more in the future.

    β€” Chau Nguyen

  • An outstanding operation! We were kept fully informed of the progress of our order from harvest until delivery. The most important time was delivery day and despite the very busy pre Christmas rush, we were notified of the precise time when the courier van would be arriving. The packaging, Information on cooking and of course the taste of the crayfish was just the best. We support the philosophy of Tora and look forward to purchasing again soon. Well done Team Tora- you are quite exceptional!

    β€” Grant Russell

  • We couldn’t have been happier with our order. Delivered on time, fantastic given it was two days before Christmas. Due to rough weather the crayfish was downsized but still plenty big enough for two. The refund of the difference in price was very prompt. Following Tora Collectives cooking instructions the crayfish was cooked to perfection. This is our second order. The first was a birthday present. Love the fact we could use wrapping and seaweed in the garden. Can’t fault Tora Collective. Many thanks.

    β€” Jill Kane

  • Fantastic My father and brother always cooked the koura. But I decided not to phone the bro at 63 I wasn’t prepared to look like a twit. I followed your instructions and it was magic melt in the mouth. The pāua I always dealt with so that wasn’t an issue delicious in butter and garlic. Your service is amazing and I feel no guilt knowing that your practice is sustainable and cares for te tamariki o Tangaroa. Nga mihi aroha Rona

    β€” Rona Ensor

  • Perfectly fresh and delicious, will buy these again. I love that you get a message when you guys are going fishing and then arrive the next day. We enjoyed them so much.

  • Could not have wished for anything more. Communication excellent and delivery on time during busiest time of year

    β€” Neville Davey

  • Perfect. Seriously perfect. Delicious crays - I bought the smallest size, would probably get larger next time. Cooking instructions great but possibly a bit long? I pulled mine out as soon as they turned pink. Beautifully packaged and presented - I put all the packaging in the compost - the seaweed and wool wrapping in a wine barrel with water to save for the garden in summer. This is a real treat.

    β€” Deborah Coddington

  • Brilliant concept; brilliant produce; brilliant service and at the most difficult of times. A few days out from xmas i requested seafood be delivered to Waiheke Island (a difficult place to deliver at the best of times) and at a period where couriers take little responsibility and care even less. Arrived on time with the produce still alive. have recommended to loads of people and will use in future for sure

    β€” Colin Angus

  • Professional packaged goods delivered fresh, extremely impressed with the size of the shellfish I ordered. I am hooked on tora Collective, fresh sea food there ready to be shared with friends and whanau I totally get my moneys worth and will continue to be part of the Tora whanau.

    β€” Ashlin Iehu

  • We enjoyed the crayfish at Xmas and again last weekend. Absolutely delicious, very fresh, best we’ve had in years. On time delivery. Excellent experience in all areas thank you

    β€” Taryn Young

  • Covid meant we needed to change the delivery date which Claire did in a friendly and obliging manner. We loved the way the Crayfish were packaged. Opening the box was a delight and we have used the seaweed and wool 'packaging' for the garden. So good to be able to buy local kai that has been caught in a sustainable way! Claire's advice re cooking methods was very much appreciated for Crayfish cooking novices. The Tora experience has been excellent from ordering to delivery. Thank you.
