The East Cape is at the most easterly point of New Zealand. Its location at the longitude of 178°E makes it the first place in the world to welcome the sunrise each day.

We source all of our products exclusively from New Zealand, a country famous for its pristine environment and world-leading sustainability practices. In fact, at 178 Degrees, sustainability isn't just a word; it's at the heart of everything we do. We have a rigorous selection process and partner only with suppliers who share our philosophy around responsible resource management and caring for nature. That's why all of our seafood and meats come solely from sustainably-managed fisheries and farms.

The best way to keep the meat or fish in quality condition is to thaw it overnight in the fridge. Allowing it to defrost slowly will prevent any loss of texture. In the morning, take the meat or fish out of the fridge. At this point, it should be only partially thawed which will make it easier to make a clean cut. All you need is a sharp kitchen knife. After portioning what you need, immediately return the rest of the cut to the freezer.
