I have it good authority that snake meat tastes a bit like chicken as well. So you are spoilt for choice now.

No snakes in NZ though Timbo  Will just have to stick with Kingi, rather that than skipping over to Oz for a swift Taipan

Hmmm... many women involved in deep sea there?!!
Hubby is definitely going to get into it but I wondered if it was something of a male environment!! |

I just posted a few general questions in the Briny Bar and got inundated with replys. I post under "Penguin" if you want to have a nose.
Why does your profile give location as Northland. I have tried to put a location on mine but cant find that facility. |

I remember seeing Tarahiki and Snapper on the menu and the Tarahiki was definitely my fave. Funnily enough almost every small-town fish and chip shop I saw in NZ declared itself the "best in the world"..! Also they always battered and fried the fish to order, while here in the UK the fish is often cooked then stored on a hot shelf so it's not as fresh. That's ok if you're hungry but it means the batter's a bit stale. What other kinds of fish do you get over there? I think I still prefer Haddock.
Hmm.. Not sure where I was going with this thread.. just daydreaming really.. Mmmm... chips..
