I try to make these posts about food that is unusual and not eaten by the majority of people that I know. This post features a restaurant and food that is unusual for a different reason, it is unusually good. We had heard about Fleurs Place before our recent trip to NZ, and research indicated it would be worth the detour north of Dunedin to visit. We were not disappointed, with the experience well and truly meeting our expectations. Fleurs Place is right on the waterfront on an old jetty, and
serves fish straight off the fishing boats.
As seems to be the case in seafood shops in NZ, there is a large selection of fish species offered.
A delicious feed of Moki
and mouth watering fresh blue cod
The fish and vegetables were cooked to perfection, and a side dish of fresh asparagus and hollandaise sauce was spectacular. I particularly enjoyed the chowder, with Queen scallops, Green lipped mussels and Cockles (small necked clams).
The fabulous food, spectacular location and great atmosphere of the restaurant certainly made our detour well worth while. Thanks Fleur.
