The Mapua Smokehouse situated in Mapua Nelson - is an institution (for well me!).

The take fish such as:
Interestingly the proprietor recommends that you heat the fish prior to serving - to ensure all the oils are soluble (as opposed to cold and congealed) - that way you get all the flavour.
The fish is delicious - my favourite the Warahou.
It makes such a good day trip - as the restaurant next to the smokehouse is also excellent.
In fact the whole area has blossomed.
It's a beautiful and idyllic spot.
My favourite thing to do is by the amazing fish and chips - and get some choice pieces of smoked fish to go with it. The smoked mussels are particularly delicious - and a pottle will provide a fine smokey dip for your chips as well.
Their biggest custom is Moore Wilsons in Wellington.
