Mangere Bulk Fisheries is a seafood market in Māngere, Auckland, rated 4.1 from 39 Google reviews.
Good seafood markets live and die by the day's catch, so it pays to shop early and ask what came in that morning. Fresh fish should smell of the sea rather than anything stronger, with clear bright eyes and firm, springy flesh. Whole fish usually costs less per kilo than fillets, and counter staff will often scale, gut or fillet your pick while you wait. In Auckland the selection turns on season and weather — snapper, trevally and gurnard come and go — and buying by the box or the sack suits big gatherings and shared meals, which is what bulk-style outlets are built for.
In a neighbourhood where seafood anchors so many family occasions, Mangere Bulk Fisheries puts kaimoana within easy reach of South Auckland locals.
