“To improve the quality of life of people through new exciting tasty & healthy foods" - Its why we do what we do! St Pierre's began in Wellington by three brothers in 1984 as a seafood delicatessen. With a range of products included Beluga Russian Caviar, sushi, smoked and fresh salmon it was very innovative for it's time. In 1993 St Pierre's formed an alliance with one of Japans largest food exporters, The Tokyo Mutual Trading Company. They had been the pioneers of Japanese food in the USA and had provided superior cooking condiments and expertise to St Pierre's . From that time St Pierre's started to import all its own products used for making sushi from Japan, to make the most delicious sushi possible. Fresh salmon arrives daily from the Marlborough Sounds and is skinned and boned on premises. The rice is freshly cooked California short grain rice. The fresh chicken for Teriyaki Chicken arrives daily and is marinated and cooked fresh every day. All the cucumbers, avocados and other vegetables are cut daily for super freshness. If a sushi flavour has sold out, we encourage customers to ask our sushi chefs to make up a fresh sushi roll! And special requests are always welcomed. The name St Pierre's is the French the famous New Zealand fish; the John Dory it also translates to St Peter, who was the Patron Saint of Fisherman.
