I used to live on Dunkirk Road, Panmure in 1976 ish (I was 16 then) and my Dad and I would crank up the Coleman lantern and grab the broomsticks with the spikes, walk across the road and get fresh flounder in the estuary. Fresh Flounder for breakfast. What memories. Also as a 5 year old 1965 living on Birdwood Rd, Swanson catching eels in the creek behind our house and smoking them on the incinerator in a wet potato sack.Yummy.

[@ChasingaPlate]

What awesome food memories Luscus 😍 thank you for sharing them with us. I wonder if there are many flounder to be found in that estuary now. Smoked eel is so delicious- one of my favourites. Hope you enjoyed this video! We were lucky enough to tuck into a smoked mullet from Apatu Aqua the other day- tasty as! Cheers, Sheena

[@tosht2515]

*_smoke house_* - Very cool that Sheena had access. Fun seeing the racks getting turned, roe being flipped, etc. and the entire process. 👍 *_salmon wings_* - If those are collars I've never heard them called wings but when cut in half they do resemble so makes sense. *_fish feast_* - Dang. That was a ton of fish! I'm sure it was all delicious but if you had to award a winner, what would it be? My current favorite smoked fish in order are salmon, mackerel and bluefish. *_fish and chip shop_* - Enjoyed reading the menu boards. Happy you filmed. Noticed kumara chips. Mmm, mmm. Speaking of chips, the menu said the flounder is served with "half a scoop" of chips. Looks like you two got the friends and family treatment! 😀 *_Fantastic day, guys!_*

[@ChasingaPlate]

Hi Tosh! Yes I believe our salmon wings are your collars 😄 I would have to go salmon as the smoky flavour was just infused so beautifully into the fish. And it was so silky. Thomas loved the smoked roe which we spread on bits of toast with a bit of lemon. What does bluefish taste like? And what sort of texture does it have? I love that fish and chip shop- the flounder was sensational- they have the cooking time down pat. And yes- a very generous portion of chips 😍They could probably tell we were starving 😆 Glad you enjoyed this one mate, thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Sheena

[@tosht2515]

🐟 Bluefish is VERY oily so as you can imagine it has a strong taste. People who don't love seafood will probably hate it. You, Thomas and I will say it's full of flavor and gobble it up. 😀 In general I put it in the sardine, mackerel, herring category. I know those all taste differently but bluefish evokes lots of negative because it is a bit "fishy." The texture is quite firm when baked but mostly I've eaten it smoked and as a pâté. TMI. Ha.

[@ChasingaPlate]

Tosh T 😍 the best description! It sounds right up our alley- you know how we love oily fish! Can’t wait to try it one day when we come across it 🤤

[@andrewgnys6285]

I'm from a wee city called Invercargill. Maybe when your there try cheese rolls at the Copper Kettle. Even in Invercargill we have culture.

[@ChasingaPlate]

Hi Andrew! We love Invercargill- we ended up being in the region for about a week filming at Fat Bastard Pies and in Bluff with Fowler’s Oysters 😄 we’re so gutted we missed out on the cheese rolls at the Copper Kettle- we used to eat them at The Zookeepers and this time we ate one at Batch and heaps of homemade ones 🤤 It gives us another reason to return though! Thanks for the recommendation and hope you enjoy the rest of the series! Cheers, Sheena

[@keithmasumoto9698]

Oh man, I'd love me a kedgeree made with that smoked fish. Yum!
