We are passionate about fish and love sharing all things fish. With this in mind, we provided the year 11 Food Technology class at Rangiora New Life School with a demonstration on filleting and cooking fish.
We have been in North Canterbury for over 17 years, we love and support the community, and, I have children and grandchildren at Rangiora New Life School. NZ has a fantastic, fresh seafood resourse right at its door, through education and knowledge, we can ensure this privilege remains for generations.
We brought in whole, fresh gurnard, kahawai, silver warehou, flounder, hoki and tarakihi straight from the fresh fish auction in Christchurch. George, one of our filleters with over 40 years experience, discussed fish preparation, how to fillet each fish, the NZ Quota Management System, fish sustainability, then George cooked the kahawai and gurnard for all to sample.
Special thanks to Mr de Roo, Mr Palmer, George our filleter, Joshua Thompson my son and Jim & Christine who kept the shop.running.
