Golden, savoury rice studded with seafood — paella is a special-occasion dish made easy. Our seafood paella is chef-made in our MPI-registered kitchen in Mount Maunganui, snap-frozen at peak freshness, and delivered chilled across New Zealand. Made with real ingredients and no preservatives, it captures those warm Spanish-style flavours in every bite. When you want seafood paella delivered NZ-wide without minding a pan for an hour, we've done the work — and it's ready in minutes.

Why seafood paella delivered NZ-wide feels special

Paella has a reputation for being tricky, which is exactly why having it ready to heat feels like such a luxury. Our version brings together savoury, golden rice and seafood for a dish that feels celebratory even on a Tuesday. Snap-freezing locks in that just-cooked flavour.

  • Golden, savoury Spanish-style rice with seafood
  • A restaurant-style meal without the effort
  • Real ingredients, no preservatives
  • No lock-in contracts — order for any occasion

What to serve with it

Paella shines with a squeeze of fresh lemon and a scatter of parsley. Serve with a simple green salad and crusty bread to make it a feast. A glass of something crisp and cold rounds out the experience beautifully.

Tip: Add a generous squeeze of lemon right before serving — it brightens the seafood and lifts the whole dish.

Who it's for

Seafood lovers, entertainers, and anyone who wants to treat themselves to something a bit special without the fuss.
