Cray Pot

The West Coast


Spotty opening hours are the only blight on this brightly painted caravan diner overlooking Jackson Bay. Cray Pot serves honest seafood, from big portions of fish and chips ($19) to crayfish tails with potato salad (from $65), as well as whitebait, green-lipped mussels and local blue cod, served with homegrown vegies and herbs.

Ask in Haast before you set out or check for a sign near the petrol station, which usually indicates whether Cray Pot is open or closed.
