Oyster & Chop Bar & Bistro in Auckland, New Zealand

Wakanui Scotch Fillet

The name and menu of this place sounded great, but I had my hesitations about coming here, as it was right on Auckland's waterfront in Viaduct Harbour's Market Square (i.e., I was worried that it was more about the scenery than the food). The good thing was that I was half-wrong, as that local Wakanui steak above was deliciously tender, fatty, and tasty, going into my belly in minutes. The bad thing was that I was also half-right, in that the oysters that we ordered had all of their briny liquor drained from them before serving. When I asked why they would do such a thing, they said that it's just the way that they serve it. Sigh.
