"A pared-back operation on a graveled jut of the Moeraki coast, this family-run spot consists of two hand-painted containers and seating made from metal cray traps, reflecting the Pile family’s generational connection to fishing. John Pile, a fourth-generation cray fisherman, brings the catch while his partner Nicky cooks; they sell specimens that won’t meet export specs due to minor defects so locals can buy high-quality seafood affordably, supporting a catch-for-community approach that also promotes greater sustainability within the industry." - Hillary Eaton
