In May of 2002 Ngai Tahu Seafood became a Trade NZ Export Award winner and a Finalist in the New Zealand Food & Beverage category at the 2002 Export Awards. The criteria to attain this award were dogged and tough. They reflect the ongoing high performance of Ngai Tahu Seafood to meet and exceed customer expectations.

A second major success in 2002 came with our Mussel and Parsley Soup product making the top five best new products at the International Boston Seafood Show from hundreds of entries. The taste and packaging format continue to be a hit.

A further accolade and recognition of our drive to deliver excellent product on time is acknowledgement of Ngai Tahu Seafood as being consistently one of the best foreign seafood suppliers to the prestigious Sydney Fish Market.
