Fresh Fish in New Zealand

"An oldie but a goodie, Avondale Fisheries has been in my life serving up fresh, tasty fish since I was a kid. It's the place my mum used to take me after ballet to buy snapper fillets for our homemade Friday night fish and chips and, even though I haven't put on my dancing shoes for years, their fish is still fresh as. Love this place - best little fish shop in the West."

"When I want a catch of the day, I take a chilly bin and head to Auckland's awesome village fish-monger in the heart of Mt Eden. They do a mean fish and chip feed and I love it that you can select your fresh fillet and then order it battered, crumbed or grilled. But the reason I come here is because fresh is best and these guys do fish the old fashioned way - straight from the sea, sustainable as and tasty as all get out."

"I might live by the sea but when hubby and his mates don't land a catch, Toby's in Glen Eden is on stand-by because they have a selection of fresh fish that's far more diverse than anything the hubby can reel in! I love that they take real pride in their presentation and that you can see them shucking seafood from where your fish is weighed by the kilo."

"There's a tank of crayfish here and a whole lotta fresh fish that comes straight from the boat to the store so this is why I like to take a trip across the Bridge when I'm looking for a special fresh seafood find. I love the fact that Oceanz pride themselves on serving up sustainable seafood so that I know that, even as I eat, I'm still respecting the ocean's delicious bounty and ensuring there will be plenty more of it for years to come."
