Oysters are ridiculously overrated. So fucken expensive too. Give me Mussels, Salmon or Paua over those any day of the week.

Could say the same about whitebait. I'll eat it, but us part of the allure the scarcity of it?

Whitebait is pleasant enough but it’s not the delicacy people say it is.

This may be influenced by spending endless time as a kid waiting for my Dad and uncle when they were diving for them.

Isn’t that a bit confusing? Where to start, where to stop kind of thing?

I'd flip flop faster than John Tamihere if that was the case.

On nigiri sushi. But it was so fresh and creamy, tasted like suped up essence of lobster and the sea. The first time I had it was in Sydney and it was very iodine tasting which was fucking horrible

Ah right, I was just referring to it either straight our of the shell or creamed Maori/NZ style.

Depends where the pork chops are from. I've always found British pork way better than anything I've tasted in NZ. A cider-marinated grilled pork chop with a apple & maple syrup relish takes some beating

I must admit I like all shellfish oysters, paua, kina, tuatua, so fuck all of you. Scallops my favourite. Used to eat most of it growing up straight out of a shell at the location (rocks, dive, beach) we got them from.

cooking shellfish/ raw shellfish
