Wellington Seamarket Lambton Quay is a fish shop and takeaway at 146 Lambton Quay in Wellington Central. It sells a wide range of fresh whole fish, and staff cut and prepare the fish to the customer's liking in front of them. Fish and chips are for pick-up only, and the website says they are usually ready in under an hour. Seafood delivery orders must be placed by 9am on weekdays, and there are no weekend deliveries.
The business started in 1947 as a small fish factory run by the Meo family in Island Bay, which supplied locals and sent its catch further afield. It later came under Tony Basile, and the group now has stores on Cuba Street, here on Lambton Quay, in Porirua and in Lower Hutt. The Porirua store has seating for eating in or takeaway. Our pick in Wellington Central for whole fish cut to order.
