On the fifth day of Christmas my tree love gave to me FIVE CHOCOLATE FISH.

When you buy one of our artisan giant kōkopu chocolate fish, 6 cents goes to saving NZ waterways. Our awarded chocolate is fair trade and organic. Our packaging is biodegradable & recyclable. Merry Chocfishmas!

artisan award announcement

The Chocolate Fish Co has just been announced finalist in The NZ Artisan Awards. A delicious reward indeed!!

About our fish

Our chocolate fish is a delicious reward given to someone who has made a positive difference in their workplace, community, school or anywhere else. If someone has done a good deed, great or small, give that person a chocolate fish.

The Giant Kōkopu

Made in New Zealand, our solid dairy milk chocolate fish is modelled on the giant kōkopu. It’s New Zealand’s largest freshwater fish, and one of the five whitebait species, now endangered. Six cents from every fish goes towards saving New Zealand’s waterways. For more, including the search for & the history of the giant kōkopu, see 'Giant kokopu' page.

What goes in our fair trade & organic chocolate

Our diary milk chocolate fish has been made with 33% fair trade organic cocoa beans from the Dominican Republic, Ecuador and Peru, and golden granulated sugar from Paraguay, all sourced directly from farmer co-operatives - then lovingly mixed with Kiwi milk right here in New Zealand.

Eco-friendly

Our packaging is made from biodegradable card and recyclable flow-wrap. Like our chocolate fish, the packaging is made right here in New Zealand. We’re 100% committed to making a product that not only rewards people who make a positive difference, but is also positively good for the planet, and for New Zealand.

Our fish can save a Native nz fish

Each time we sell a chocolate fish, we will donate 6 cents to The Whitebait Connection. This will help fund the Whitebait Connection's local community programmes, involve schools and local iwi, to clean up NZ rivers and waterways and draw attention to best practice.

Inspirational fish

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.
