Kahawai

Kahawai

Known in more recent times as ‘the people’s fish’, kahawai is a species that European New Zealanders, until recently, treated with some disdain.

“I don’t eat bait!” was for many years a common call as the kahawai was kept for just that – as a lure to catch more popular recreational species. But like gurnard and trevally, kahawai is seen more commonly on our tables and is less often destined for the bait freezer.
