Sweet, Light, Creamy
They are temperate, Rock Cod-like fish, that can be distinguished from their distant relatives by their plain-colored body pattern. They are also related to the Hapuku. Gropers are found right around New Zealand, including the Chatham Rise but excluding the Campbell Plateau. They are most common over or near rocky areas down to 250 meters. The main fishing grounds for Gropers are the deep canyons off the East Coast of the North Island, Cook Strait, Kokura and the west Coast of the South Island.
Sweet, Lobster-like
Sweet and a perfect mix of Lobster and Shrimp Flavors. The Meat of the Spot Prawn has a phenomenal "SNAP" and finishes very silky. The Spot Prawn inhabit deep water and pack on "fat" to regulate body temperature. This translates to a beautiful product that interacts with dry cooking methods to retain "fat" in the finished dish.
