The legendary paua pie, filled with a unique New Zealand seafood delicacy, has gained cult status, drawing customers to a remote cafe on the coastal East Coast.
Cafe 35 sells roughly 25,000 paua pies a year, with demand so high that during summer, they sell up to 350 pies a day.
Customers frequently reminisce about their childhoods spent collecting paua, which has become harder to do due to dwindling stocks influenced by climate change.
Paua is cherished not only for its flavorful meat, but also for its iridescent shell, historically significant in Maori art and adornments.
