A new range for Skellon Foods by Apatu Aqua Enterprises.  All these products are harvested and ice packed.  They are then smoked and chilled overnight to enhance flavour, before being processed using a "2 hour policy" which ensures products maintain optimum freshness.

Smoked Salmon - Moist, full flavour New Zealand salmon smoked in small batches.

Smoked Eel - Harvested from our Northland streams and rivers, manuka smoked and vacuum packed at our premises in Coopers Beach.

Smoked Fish - The fish is caught by a local fisherman working two boats, which ensures we have fresh fish whenever possible.  The fish is smoked using manuka, giving it a natural smoke flavour.

Smoked Pate - Harvested by Apatu Aqua's own divers from the clean Northland coastal waters, the kina roe is known for it's sweet, fresh flavours.  The kina pate has a great flavour on its own, but can be used as a enhancer for your sauces.  Also available - smoked eel pate.
