Auckland CBD

These sliders are a cultural institution in Auckland. The snapper is consistently fresh, perfectly fried, and balanced with a bright lemon mayo and watercress that cuts through the richness of the brioche bun.

Marsic Bros

Panmure
4.8 / 5

As a working fishmonger, Marsic Bros offers snapper that is often caught the same morning. The quality of the protein is unmatched by high-end restaurants because the supply chain is zero-distance.

Soul Bar & Bistro

Viaduct Harbour
4.5 / 5

Soul offers the definitive 'occasion' snapper. The technical execution of the pan-sear results in a glass-like skin while the flesh remains translucent and moist, served against the backdrop of the marina.

Fish Smith

Herne Bay
4.6 / 5

Fish Smith bridges the gap between a local chippy and a high-end bistro. Their snapper is handled with extreme care, and the accompanying salads are far superior to standard coleslaw.
