I think Hosking is a dick
You should have just left it there.
I thought of you and @MN5 a few weeks back when I was having dinner at a Hokitika Indian restaurant, and in walks your best mate John Campbell. In the area for a Pike River story I later found out.
An excellent meal though...

Who knew? It was very busy on that Tuesday night.
I had a good whitebait omelette at another place the night before. Now I'm hungry.

GFYs , because of you I’ve been thinking about whitebait omelettes all day. I though whitebait was wildly overrated till I had an omelette at the lake ferry pub .now I want one

@jegga Whitebait, Crays, Oysters etc are great but they are fucken overrated for the price if you ask me. Work took us on a piss up lunch several months back and my entrée was three oysters which cos TWENTY EIGHT FUCKEN DOLLARS. Needless to say I was not footing the bill...…..
-
@jegga you should order Whitebait in an English restaurant.....

I’ll pass . Is it brown like imported whitebait?
Also don’t try Hawkesbury river oysters in Australia. They are an affront to oysters everywhere

@jegga yeah nah...it's little fish.
Yeah I remember ordering Mussels in UK one time and getting a plate full of these things that were smaller than most Tua Tuas.

@taniwharugby I'll eat punnet upon punnet of mussels from the Supermarket. Absolutely love them and much better value than other supposedly nicer seafood.

@nepia said in Alternative needed from the absolute crap of stuff.co.nz:
@jegga I learnt early on never to order mussels in Australia.
I edited my post I meant oysters. I never tried mussels there but the I do gorge myself in prawns when I go across the ditch , they aren’t full of carcinogens and other crap like the ones they sell here.

I don't like flavoured Mussels - and I always struggle to find plain punnets.
When I go to a Belgian style restaurant and ask for Mussels steamed in water they look at me like I'm a loon. Although at the one in Mt Eden I'd often get the blue cheese pot (as they used to do two for one pots and I'd have one plain and one blue cheese).

Hmmm, I thought that the quality of prawns would be dicey over here - as they're so cheap. I'm not a huge eater of them (like them but usually they're beaten by other things on a menu) so haven't looked into it.

I've never had either of those, will have to give them a try next time I'm up your way - although I've never been so disappointed about hyped seafood as I was the first time I had barramundi.

As far as I know they don’t test our imported prawns for rotenone like they do in the states.
