The glacial waters of this floating fish farm, 3km from Twizel, produce mighty delicious fish, available to buy as fresh whole fillets and smoked portions. Our pick is the hot-smoked salmon, flaked into hot pasta, perhaps with a dash of cream. There's also a small cafe selling sashimi and other salmon-inspired dishes. Try the delicious Hawaiian-style poke.
