The cove, in section

Three Bands of Cold Water

From the granite lip of the shore to the fog line offshore, the cove sets the order of the pack.

01

The granite shore Glacier-smoothed stone runs to the waterline. Shellfish is rinsed, sorted and packed in 2 kg lots, clean and cold as the rock it rests on.

02

The working wharf Small boats come in at first light and the deck fills with whole fish. The catch is gutted, iced and graded before it reaches the cold room.

03

The open Atlantic Beyond the point, fog sits low over deep water. Frozen packs hold that offshore cold at -18 °C until the kitchen opens them.
