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 Kokopu
Made in New Zealand, our solid dairy milk chocolate fish is modelled on the giant kokopu. It’s New Zealand’s largest freshwater fish, and one of the five whitebait species, now endangered. Three cents from every fish goes towards saving New Zealand’s waterways.
What goes in our chocolate
Our cocoa beans are sourced from West Africa, where long-established programmes support local farmers and cooperatives. Our ingredients are sourced from local New Zealand dairy producers.
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 3 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.
