When the Dunedin contingent from the Our Kitchen team descended on Auckland for Taste of New Zealand last month, we were astounded at the number of recommendations for ‘must try’ restaurants and cafes around the city – every dish was unique, delicious and utterly satisfying. Serendipitously, each team member ordered something completely different so we happily shared, ensuring we experienced as many flavours as possible per meal; we were in foodie heaven!
Our first night in Auckland we had a team meal at a very tasty little bistro in Northcote, the following day we downed seafood tapas at a bustling oyster bar in the central city, next we enjoyed Vietnamese down by the waterfront and tucked into incredible toasted sandwiches at a little café by Victoria park.
One the restaurants we ate at provided the inspiration for this dish – with a South Island twist (of course) – Blue cod!
