NEW RUN 2023 - HOT OFF THE PRESS!
Our new run is in and ready to order NOW!
And it looks and tastes sooooo good!
We have decided to refresh and enliven our brand and packaging to make it more eco-friendly and beautiful. It's now composable and biodegradable. And as always we give 6 cents from the sale of each chocfish to the Whitebait Connection who link in with local schools and iwi to clean up NZ waterways. The perfect reward for a deed well done.
Thank you, Kia ora!
our new run of Chocfish arrives with a new generation of whitebait
Mahuru: September is the month whitebait spawn - and we have co-incided the release of our new run to be in sync with this natural phenonmena.
Ahhhh - there's nothing quite like fresh organic, fair trade giant kōkopu chocfish! Eat it as you please;
sandwiched, smores style, between fresh buttered white bread,
mixed into your hot chocolate drink,
baked into cookies and cakes,
head first, tails up into and/or melted with butter over icecream and banana,
perhaps just plain, shared (heads or tails?) or pure individual indulgence, on your own... with a cuppa or glass of vino rouge ... mmmmm.
A seriously delicious treat for a deed well done.
Every fish counts. Take the time to give thanks, and acknowledge deeds well done by friends, whānau, colleagues and communities.

Fish of the day;
Richard Pearse, First to Fly.
This Kiwi farmer/genius built and flew the first ‘heavier than air’ aircraft to take off under its own power, on 31 March 1903 in Timaru. The bamboo and scrap- metal plane flew about 140 metres before it crashed into a gorse bush. Unfortunately, the flight was poorly documented, allowing the Wright Brothers to claim the first flight 9 months later on 17 Dec 1903. Depiction on our home page above as imagined in the New Zealand mockumentary 1995 movie, 'Forgotten Silver.' For more see:

A long time ago... in a galaxy far, far away called Aotearoa, the land of the long white cloud... there were no chocolate fish. But this was about to change... For more see:
