Snapper is a bit overrated (my thoughts), Gurnard = yum yum

Mind you I get spoiled for choice when it comes to fish choice

Grew up on snapper , flounder, rig and blue cod, its snapper for me:.

Kawhai bleed gutted and iced, then hot manukau smoked mmmm hot or cold, dear god the food of kings oily tasty and creamy! John Dory or flounder filleted, creamy soft melt in your mouth.

Blue cod fresh blue cod mmm needs a day to rest though.it has a very delicate flavour that comes through after few hours in the fridge. Very easy to over power best served with new spuds green beans or a light salad.

Butterfish though oh wow firm morsels of just i'll I lick the fry pan.

Jock steward / sharpies / gumboots / Maori chief one of the most underrated fish in the sea!! Clean beautiful white flesh. Holds fantastically well together when cooking, a flavour all of its own a sweet moist succulent fish. My personal favourite.

Keep that bloody Dundee and his T-sauce well away from any fish but bloody shark.
