The Kai Ika filleting station at Westhaven Marina (Z Pier) is now open for the season. Bring your fish to be expertly filleted for a small fee, knowing that nothing goes to waste. All unwanted fish parts are shared with appreciative whānau and communities.

Thanks to the support of Westhaven Marina, we also accept drop-offs directly from boats at Z Pier. This makes it easy for marina berth holders, as well as Orams and Cracker Bay users, to access our filleting service.

If you’d like us to collect your fish straight from your boat at the Z Pier jetty, just call 027 305 2520 and one of our team will meet you on the pier.

Spring Hours

Tuesday to Sunday 11-5:30 pm (weather dependent)

We will handle your fish with maximum respect. We ask that you do the same:
1. Take a chilly bin and salt ice when fishing
2. Keep fish slurried and chilled
3. Minimise cross contamination between bait, offal and fish.

Kai Ika can bring our mobile filleting service to your fishing competition. Our team sets up on-site with everything needed to deliver a fast, professional service from our purpose-built trailer right beside the weigh-in. Competitors enjoy a hassle-free experience, and every part of the fish is valued and shared with families who appreciate them. It’s a simple, visible way to reduce waste, demonstrate responsible fishing, and give back to your local community.

Email us at kaiika@legasea.co.nz to find out more.

At the Kai Ika filleting trailer in Westhaven we also provide professional knife sharpening with one of the world’s best commercial knife sharpener: the Catra-i100. This can sharpen your fishing and filleting knives and also your kitchen knives.

A sharp knife will not only ensure that your job at hand is easier, but it will also be much safer.

The Outboard Boating Club of Auckland, Papatuanuku Kokiri Marae and the Z Pier Charter Fleet at Westhaven Marina have teamed up with LegaSea to develop the Kai Ika Project. The Kai Ika project utilises fish heads, frames and offal which were previously going to waste.
