Our team at Wellington Seamarket has started doing contactless home deliveries for fresh fish and frozen seafood products.

If you would like to get some fresh fish for dinner tomorrow night you can order here.

Our fish comes in daily from fishermen around Wellington and collaborators around the country (such as Barnes Wild Oyster for Bluff Oysters).

Our goal is to get the fish prepared and delivered to your door within 24 hours of it hitting the deck!

We deliver Monday to Friday, and cover the bottom half of the North Island (Wellington to Palmerston North).

Memories while in Covid19 Lockdown.
----------------------------------------------------------

2 smoke alarms with flat batteries weeks apart, late at night.
Mouse in the Kitchen, dashing to supermarket to buy traps/caught.
People much more sociable [with distancing] than normal.
Set up email contacts with 20 neighbours round robin.

NOW Level 3.
Too many cars out speeding/cruising while people are walking.
No queues at supermarket.
Petrol tank still full after 6 weeks.
--------------------------------------------------------

BEST of all events during LOCKDOWN.
Computer contact with family overseas.
AND being alive to tell the tale.

------------------------------------
WORST not having nor wanting ONLINE banking.
-----------------------------------
WHAT short story do you have to recall as we live through history.

Hey neighbours,
Have you been to the country's first "drive-thru" garden centre in Plimmerton yet? Owner Richard Persson said he sold six weeks worth of vege seedlings in three days because "we're all alcohlic gardeners this side of lockdown".

Vege seedlings have been selling out because gardeners are buying them up like crazy now and the growers weren't able to plant at level 4. But they're warning other shortages of fruit and native trees are still to come and could be long-lasting.
