Mt Cook Alpine Salmon (Lake Pukaki)
Fresh glacier-fed salmon sashimi from a roadside kiosk, with Aoraki/Mt Cook on the horizon.
Why go
An effortless, memorable lunch stop exactly on the Mt Cook–to–Tekapo drive — world-class salmon at roadside-snack prices and views.
Raised in the cold, oxygen-rich water of the Mackenzie hydro canals, this is some of the freshest salmon you'll ever eat — sold by the pottle as sashimi or hot-smoked from a small shop right beside Lake Pukaki on SH8. Eat it at a picnic table with the turquoise lake and Aoraki/Mt Cook filling the view.
