FISH RECIPES by E. W. Tapsell During the summer months many common varieties of fish are caught off our shores and at the mouths of our rivers. The most common variety is the Kahawai. Usually they are caught with a spinner or pawa (paua?) on a handline fishing off the beach, or from the side of the riverbank. Here are two ways of cooking kahawai which the local Maori people have taught the other residents, to use for better eating, for the fish are very dry when cooked without the addition of flavouring. They have very little fat content compared with trevalli, schnapper or butter-fish, but nevertheless make very good eating if steamed or basted in the oven.
