Our roots in the ocean
I grew up on the islands, where the ocean teaches you more than any classroom ever could. Kina was part of my life long before it became my business — early mornings in the water, learning from my elders, and understanding the rhythm of the tides. Harvesting wasn’t just a skill; it was a tradition passed down with pride.
From passion to plate
For years, I shared my kina with family and friends, and the feedback was always the same: “This is the real island taste.” That’s when I realised I wasn’t just gathering kai — I was carrying a flavour people missed, a connection to home they couldn’t find anywhere else. So I turned my passion into a business built on freshness, honesty, and respect for the moana.
Authentic island flavour
Today, every tub I prepare is hand-harvested, cleaned with care, and packed with the same pride I grew up with. This isn’t mass-produced seafood. It’s real island kina — sweet, fresh, and full of the flavour that raised me. My business is simple: share the taste of home with the people who love it most.
