Mt Cook Alpine Salmon Shop is a salmon shop at the Lake Pukaki Information Centre, beside Lake Pukaki on the road between Lake Tekapo and Twizel. The shop sells freshwater Chinook salmon products, which the company farms in the cold, fast-flowing waters of the Southern Alps and describes as its freshwater King salmon.
Customers say the salmon sashimi is fresh and melts in the mouth, and that ordering is quick, with plenty of seating. The view across the lake is the main draw, and many visitors buy salmon, take photos and eat there. Open Locally lists the shop in Lake Tekapo. Our pick by Lake Pukaki for a salmon lunch with a view.
