Akaroa Salmon, at 89 Treffers Road in Wigram, Christchurch, sells King salmon raised in pens in Akaroa Harbour. The website describes it as a 100% New Zealand owned partnership that has been raising King salmon since 1985. Its range includes Manuka hot smoked and cold smoked King salmon, fresh salmon portions and a fresh salmon fillet won Seafood Champion at the Outstanding Food Producer Awards in 2024. Products are sold online, and the website says the business sells direct from the wharf to locals in Akaroa.
Customers mention fresh salmon and smoked salmon most often, and several say the quality is high. One said it was the best salmon they have had, and that the service and delivery were excellent. Another said the price is worth it. Not every visit went well. One visitor reported a rude and impatient reception at the retail shop. Our pick in Wigram for fresh King salmon.
