    Most "fresh" hoki you see at the market is 4-10 days on ice by the time you see it.
    Cant say iv ever seen it smoked but i dont buy fish from the supermarket.
    Its actually pretty good fresh filleted and frozen at sea,even after only 12 hours in ice it is losing its flavor and texture already and starts to become flavorless mush.
    Orange roughy on the other hand can sit on deck with a tarp over it for 48 hours and still fillet up like a just landed one.

    If your going to buy hoki id recommend frozen at sea skin on portions, only the best firm(fresh) blood spot free fillets get fed to the portioner

    You're in the Bay are you not? Go to Tangaroa Seafoods and get something decent. I think they are still open.

    Short awnswer yes, go to a fish shop not the supermarket. Look at its eyes and gills if buying a whole fish eyes should still be fairly bright and clear gills bright red not brown and slimy

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!

    Thanks Gibo I appreciate that. I have never been but have always wanted to as both of my younger brothers have done heaps. One crewed out of Whangaroa and Tutukaka for a number of years. i just loved eating the smoked by product.
