The freshest lobster I have ever had in NZ. They catch their lobsters daily and cook them to sell on the day. (You could buy and take away alive lobsters too. ) The price you pay is based on the weight of the lobster of your pick. Serve chilled with warm garlic bread and some green salad, seafood source, salt and pepper. It is so good and tasty! We enjoyed every bite of it! Money well spent! The service is good and friendly! I think it is ideal to go in summertime since the lobster is served cold. It is nice to sit outside and have your lobster while enjoying the sea view. Oh, we ordered fish without chips. It is very fresh fish too. If you like to have a hot meal, you will enjoy the Fish and Chips. Will go back for more yummy 🦞🦞lobsters!

Dropped by here on my way to Blenheim to try out the crayfish/lobster as it was recommended by one of my peers in NZ. Lobster was served with aioli sauce, toast and salad. Felt the price to food ratio was a little underwhelming. As I didn't know the dish would be served cold. Better to check in with the staff on the way it's cooked before purchasing However, I've seen many people ordering fish and chips. Might be the better option. Shop is located next to the beach with parking and toilet. Outdoor sitting available too

We travelled from Christchurch for a day trip and chose Karaka Lobster to be our food destination. We wanted to give fresh lobster a go as we've never had it straight from it's shell before. A whole cooked lobster was purchased and shared between two people. The lobster arrived to us halved and chilled alongside a salad, toasted garlic bread and chips we added for an extra $5. It was a generous meal, and the lobster was juicy. The woman who served us today also made an incredibly good flat white. The coffee here deserves a special mention. Lovely service, great view and atmosphere, highly recommended for seafood enthusiasts.
