High Country Salmon is a boutique, 100% New Zealand family-owned salmon farm, floating café & restaurant, fish shop and fishing experience, situated 3km south of Twizel. They grow premium glacial mountain salmon (chinook or king salmon) in the hydro canal system – this constant flow of clean water means that their salmon are fitter than sea-run salmon, resulting in firmer flesh and a cleaner, more delicate flavour. They do everything on-site, resulting in the shortest supply chain possible and the freshest salmon available.
Visitors to High Country Salmon have a range of things to do; sample the amazing cuisine during the day or evening from Logans floating café & restaurant, feed the salmon (for free) on the deck, purchase salmon, deli foods, kitchenware or merchandise from the fish shop, or even catch your own salmon! There is plenty of parking, and the scenery is spectacular!
Logan’s Floating Cafe
During the day you can dine on the freshest premium sashimi & sushi, or delicious cabinet and kitchen items. At night, you can try Twizel’s must do evening dining experience with 2 or 3 course menus or sharing platters. Pair your meal with local wines or craft beer. There is delicious Allpress coffee and loads of outdoor dining areas on the floating deck or the landscaped garden. #TheLogansExperience
