How Fish Heads Are Improving New Zealand
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 окт 2024
- In Auckland, NZ, The Kai Ika Project was created to utilize fish heads, frames and offal which were previously going to waste. Since September 2016, previously discarded fish parts have been collected from the Outboard Boating Club by Papatūānuku Kōkiri Marae whanau and redistributed to families and community groups in South Auckland who value these fish parts and can make healthy, nutrient-rich meals out of them.

As a Kenyan,it pains me seeing the western culture wasting the heads and the mid backbone part,at least make some soup from it or give it to peope who dont have food,danm
same here, in southeast asian culture
Also here in Mozambique 🇲🇿, probably all African contries...we don't waste food here.
Totally!!! Im glad so many fishermen are doing this regularly now
We've been eating the whole fish for generations this is nothing new.
Heaps of respect to you and your people brother, Kenyans live of the land and sea healthy lifestyle hence why they are fit and dominate long distance running. They also good at 7s rugby as well.
it's kind of amazing how rich countries make a special feature of cooking fish heads. meanwhile here in South East Asia, throwing fish head is such a wasteful thing to do 🙂 You do not throw fish head, you cook it together.
Omggg frrrr

Gulai Kepala Ikan (Fish Head Curry) is a very famous dish in Indonesia. So delicious.
Hey not all south east Asian throw the head of the fish.
@@almalyncabansag4442 my comment refers to rich countries throwing fish heads instead of cooking them.
In the Philippines, even the bones are sundried and crispy fried and becomes like a crackling. Very rich in calcium and flavors
Skin, too ❤️
Wow 👌
Eat it all. Nothing goes to waste.
i like bulad
Philippines is a...
Fukn SHITHOLE !!!!
My dads Cook Island, he raised me in New Zealand. I remember him eating fish heads all the time lol
My Dads cook Iceland,he raised me in Iceland. I remember him eating fish heads all the time lol
Sad cunts
My dads Cook Highland, he raised me in Highland. I remember him eating fish heads all the time lol
@@mehoff7211 sure your dad ain't cook gayland lol 😆 😂 🤣.
haha you are all cooked
My family is from SE asia. Been eating the head since we was kids, with my parents cooking. We don't waste anything on any animals.
With fish, we use the bones and head for a soup stock, it is delicious. And, the head had a lot of fatty meats.
My missus is from Thailand. She taught my kids (6/8/10) in the UK to eat fish brain and eyes LOL. Restaurant in Spain ordered monkfish. The waiter was absolutely delighted when she cut off its head and ate it.
In the UK it was standard to eat tongue, cheeks, oxtail, intestine - most of the animal. Nowadays it's all binned and no one eats it. These guys are doing a great job.
I'm Pakeha, raised eating all offal, pig heads, fish head,kina and all kai Moana. Born and raised in Whakatu. Glad to see the Big Guys finally seeing the sense of giving so called waste product(fish frames and heads) out to Marae to feed people..
I’m Asian and from Auckland. In the 90s, my mum could get fish heads, fish bones, fish roe (from fishmongers), ox tails, offals (from butchers) for free or next to nothing.
Often they used to give us extras coz kiwi vendors didn’t know what to do with them.
It’s good to see that now pakeha and other NZers are appreciating these “offcuts”, and realise that they can be used for creating beautiful and tasty dishes!
True that
The fish head curry are one of the most sought after delicacies in Malaysia...fetch a good prices when served...
A great pairing between Environmental Journalism and Food Journalism.
Compelling story about the significance of the fish head, not just in culinary, but culture and community, in Asia and the Pacific:
In Hong Kong, we steam the whole fish together and the cheek meat is the most juicy part, we never throw away fish head
Easily the most prized piece of meat from the fish!
This is perfect blend of old indigenous values and approach as the base root for tackling these issues, it literally is this simple. If only my country AUS understood this, both countries would be a force to be reckoned with in tackling the issues faced today.
In africa nothing goes to waste the head is the most nutritious part especially for your brain...
African people are good at living off the land and sea as well.
In SE Asia, fish head curry is a delicacy served in the best local restaurants. Best eaten with hot steamed rice.
Aaand... It's expensive too...
In Maldives we always eat fish heads, because it has lots of benefits for eyes, brains, to body, fish head have omega 3 fatty acid, protein and nutrients. We eat tuna, skipjack white fish heads like grouper, snapper, trigger fish, Parrot fish ete.
When my friend from Singapore went to Britain years ago to do his degree, he sometimes cook. He would sometimes buy chicken livers and gizzards for his dog but he don't have a dog.
It's happening in my place where I live too. The market near my house sell the salmon head with 50% discount and almost nobody still don't want to buy it except me, the seller even always remember to sell it to me every time I come to there. It's sad not many people know the value of the nutrition inside fish head but hey one man trash is a treasure for me 🤣
@TT DAN I am from Indonesia and there's a market called "Marked City" That sell salmon head with cheap price. Traditional market sell it cheap too
Man my mouth was watering through all of the interview seeing all those yum az fish heads!! Kingi,kahawai,snapper,mullet hapuka are my absolute favorite and the Roe too
Smoked Roe on toast.....for breakfast, lunch and dinner 😁
You're definitely a true kiwi brother.
@@playerone6672 chuck on a couple sheep's heart's cut up fried in butter with a fresh loaf of bread bro = winner smells absolutely delicious
Well sanji would be really proud . 😇
Its cool to see a video about New Zealand!!!
Watching this made me proud to be a kiwi. My Dad is Maori and My Mum is Samoan. I was raised in Australia..The head of any fish was always given to the most important person at the table. My dad loves his fish heads. To see 90 % yield on a fish is Awsome! Nothing should be wasted. To see healthy food that was once wasted turned into food for those in need is inspiring.
The fish head also adds flavor to soups. Had no idea people threw them away🤔🤔
Vary cool! I will never forget the first time after fishing .while i was at the filet station, someone asked me for my salmon fish heads and bodies. I asked why and they said for soup. I said as long as i can eat with you let's do this! It was amazing and 20 years later i still use there recipe!
I grew up eating broth made of fish head and bones. We had bad times in my family but my dad never left us hungry. Even though he is of nomadic background he would go to the fish market after a hard day's work and buy couple of heads mainly tuna, shark and snabbers and he would make this crazy soup. It was the best.
In my home in India, we use the fish for gravy and we fry the other parts of the fish. We also use some of the other part in the gravy as well.
Malaysians, Indonesians and Singaporeans watching this while eating fish head curry.
This reminds me of an episode of One Piece and Sanji had a cooking battle with a chef from the Marines and the winner was decided by which dish the Marines loved the most. The Marine chef used only the best parts of the fish and threw away all the bones and heads and scraps of veges too. Then after she finished, Sanji grabbed all the scraps that she threw out and made a fish ball type dish with a sauce/stock made from the rest of the scraps.
Food a La carte
Ty for educating me about your community center where you feed everyone. We Sikhs have something called a Langar which literally means kitchen where we feed anyone and everyone. Communities helping people around the world. Ty for the episode
Fully agree. When the fish is fresh, the Head is the best.
I know Lionel very well we hail from the same Area in Mangere this man and his family have built a excellent community marae for all cultures to celebrate. Lionel is a true role model for South Auckland community his passion for being maaori influenced me so much in being proud of the maaori culture.
Kia Ora Lionel
Awesome bunch of blokes good on them 👌
In Vietnam, fish heads are often cooked in a sweet and sour soup with tomatoes, dills and pickled mustard greens. Growing up it’s my favourite dish in summertime. Fish’s frames often get deep fried, became very crispy and a delicious snacks. Vietnamese culinary often use most of the parts of the animal during the cooking process, very little is disposed of, when I first moved to New Zealand, I actually struggled to find animal parts that are popular in Vietnamese cuisine like fish heads, pig tails/ears. So good to see these communities keeping up the good work to sustainably preserve our natural resources!
I'm black from Florida and I have sold fish since childhood. When I sell big fish like grouper (10 - 60 lbs), most people only want the fillets, so I save the backbones (they say frames lol) and the breasts (they say wings lol) and am careful to get the cheeks and other head meat.
I end up with about 8- 10 meals worth of fish from one 20 lb fish.....plus the fillets get sold.
I've made head soup but not often. It's a bit more time consuming.
fish heads are so popular as food in Asia, we even have restaurants who specialise in fish head dishes.
As a pakeha kiwi i felt happy and proud to see such a profound & meaningful example of people working together to help preserve our kai and foster meaningful relatiions with the ppl we share tye land abd sea with. 😁🤙
In Bengal, Assam,Orissa and other parts of eastern India, murighanta, a fish head preparation, is one of the most prized dishes and a favourite item of food.
Absolutely brilliant, great initiative.
I totally agree with using the fish whole. The fish heads are the best. Cook them in curry to make curry fish heads. The fish bones make great stock for a variety of cooking recipes. Trying steaming the whole fish with ginger and shallots with a tough of cooking wine and soy. Yum.😂
In the Indian peninsula as well...we don't fillet our fish at all, because of it being wasteful. The only things that gets removed are the guts, scales, fins and gills. Everything else is either cut up and put into a curry with the bones, or fry it or steam it. Even the bones of fried small fishes are chewed out. Fish heads, eyes, the brain and even the spinal cord of the fishes are eaten. And only the skin of certain fishes like tuna are removed. There is even a kind of preparation for the intestines...but most people discard them
Curry fish head is a famous dish too in Indonesia ❤️
Wish I could try that dish 🥺
not only in Indonesia. is everywhere in SEA
Or Assam fish head... yummmmm
u look so beautiful..im from malaysia…IG?
As a Bengali ,in my part of India , it's served as something special. There is only one fish head to number of slices of fish .
Fish head is a delicacy in Bengal. We used to make lots of tasty recipes with this heads. Example: Murighonto (Fish head curry), Macher er mathar dal (Lentils cooked with vegetables and fish heads), Macher mathar tok (An appetizer) etc
The dislikes must be from the dead fish’s relatives.
Hello from Uzbekistan 🇺🇿
Samarkand city
I like this video👍
Im from Aotearoa and I love fish heads. Eyes and cheeks are my favs.
In both China and Malaysia, they have been selling fish heads like a delicacy in markets and supermarkets alike and there are literally countless ways and styles of turning the often ignored ingredient into delicious dishes
here in the Philippines, most all parts of the fish are eaten, I love fish heads, eyes, and everything)))))
We eats ALL parts... From your neighbor Indonesia.. 🤣 🤣
My grandma used to make me eat the “entire” fish and I mean that - fellow korean
In Malaysia fish heads are typically reserved for the head of family too! A small world indeed.
Watching From The Caribbean 🇻🇨, I Really Love This 🐟
Love seeing this, in Bengali style cooking we try to utilize the whole fish, so often you'll see the whole head of the curry. My father also thought me to suck the marrow from the bones, since we cook with bone on. This should also be done for meats, I see a lot of the time, tripe is thrown out from beef and lamb, which is a great source of protein, a slow cooked spicy curry does it wonders (gets rid of the smell). Meat head should also not be wasted as it has a good amount of meat on it, and the brain contains good amount of omega 3 and protein, The latter include phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylserine, which are good for the nervous system. The antioxidants obtained by eating brain meat are also helpful in protecting the human brain and spinal cord from damage.
This is beautiful man. Great video.
A long standing practice of many countries worldwide eating every part of the fish.Same with eating sheep & cattle offal the kidneys, liver, tongues, tripe etc.Some countries eat sheep and cattle heads.Kai time on the road' was awesome showing the many food practices of local towns who hunted their own food on land & sea & grew their own veggies.
I often see people throwing away the fish heads
I our tradition it's a belief that eating fish heads make an individual's brain healthy and smart
Fish head is the best part. Ghanaians have been eating fish heads for centuries. It holds so much flavor.
Mad respect for what you guys are doing.
Now that's a way to get ahead in life...
this is amazing would love to try one of these dishes, big up NZ
Love this initiative. Also pleased they've started selling smoked salmon tails and fins in the supermarkets. Much cheaper than the body, still heaps of flesh on them and they actually look great on an antipasto platter. Win, win, win.
Bruh . Just boil some water with tomato, onion, and ginger. After the tomato dissolves, add the heads and some talbos kamote. Wait until the fish meat whitens then add some tamarind. Done!
I live in a Caribbean community in New York we don't throw any part of the any animal or fish away, from fish head soup to roast sheep head, no waste.
Not just the fish.......pigs heads cows sheep etc...... it is considered respect for the animal who has given its life for you to consume as much of it as possible. Nice one boys.
Thank you for your help to others. Right way to go
When I was little I hated the fish head I always wanted the tail part lol. Now I'm in my late 30's I love fish head 🇫🇯🇫🇯
I love it I really want to come to New zealand and experience their way of life how they preserve and love their nature and saving. All while being wholesome and teach others how to do the same.
Great stuff !! Cheers from Maine ✌
We in bengal,India. Eat fish head very usually
Born and raised as a Maori in New Zealand and fish heads are the bestttt! Reminds me of eating them with my pops
My aunt worked in a canary in Canada and they even sold the salmon bones to commercial crabbers. Little to no waste.
Canada is full with chinese and Indian, if you want to see so many fish parts being wasted, go to your neighbor America... 🤣 🤣
What a initiative! Aotearoa is so generous
Rich countries have to make this a special feature. This is so ordinary here in the Philippines and in other SEA countries. The fish
brain, eyes and face is really delicious.
fish heads and collars fried is lovely, them in a sour soup (Sinigang) is also amazing.
If you deep fried the bone and heads. Then blend then boil with some ginger, ,white pepper, cooking rice alcohol and scallion for ~30 min n fine strainer then you have a white fish broth you can use for noodle or hotpot . ;)
Good ideas brothers and interesting!
Fish heads and spares ain't cheap in Malaysia & Singapore. With each meal costing avg $30 to 70 per meal.
Only big fish head…
Fish heads are good in making sinigang ( sour based soup) here in the Philippines, not just the head but the whole fish and nothing goes to waste.
Is he the probation officer 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Such a wonderful idea!
"Yeah Buddy" Fish 🐠 Head is the best with Taro. Might to do some 🐟 fishing this weekend hahahaha
People throw the head away???? Seriously? Why? I think all of Asia and it's surrounding countries will use everything except the heart and in some cases gills. The stomach and liver are also crazy delicious if prepared correctly. Japanese food culture is also a perfect example of 0 wastage concept for fishes.
My great-grandmother would can whole trout. It would soften the bones, lots of nutrients.
Don't throw it away. There a lot of meat left. Good video
thats good. Some resturants overseas cook and sell the fish head. Its my favourite part of the fish.....I alway buy whole snappers fillet them and the first this I eat is the head bones. The rest I make ceviche.
In borneo... Fish head is tag with high price... Fish heah curry, asam pedas or asam kunyit are most common menu in restaurants here... Do find borneo cooking for fish head... For sure you will like to watch... Not to mention the fish gut... Certain fish gut also sale in high price tag... Either for medicine or gourment...
Had a head of salmon roasted in the oven, sprinkled with sea salt, a squeeze of lemon and a yuzu miso dip. Was eye opening and delicious!
These are all my favourite bits.
in the philippines only scales and fins are wasted the rest are used in different ways like making bagoongs.
Sent to Indonesia,Malaysia,singapore.we love fish head
kari kepala ikan
The mamak restaurant owners would be very pleased to have those fish heads
You ain't have the best of fish head until you have had a Malaysian Fish Head Curry...
True.
In south east adia.Fish head curry is very very expensive dish. 1 curry fish head start from USD 10 to USD 70.depend on what fish type.
The best tastiest part of the fish is the head. A sour broth with tomatos and ginger, onion and leek, good for hangover, is my favorite.
It's informative that you guys takes the flesh out of the heads.. Etc but you can cook it whole too. The best is pressurize it. Nothing is wasted. One thing that I don't appreciate is we the ppl from developing countries thought you knew everything.
this is how it should be,little to non waste,well done you guys !
We are still in the progress of working out ways to eat the fish tooth which were often thrown away other than the head cooked in curry.
Similarly in Asia, all parts of the fish is used except the guts and gills. Bones make good soup too.
When I fry fish, I usually butterfly it but not remove the bones. I just fry it to the point that the bones and the head are edible. Best thing ever. BTW I'm talking about smaller fish not the medium to large sized ones.
Singapore fish head curry. U have to try it. Nothing is wasted and it tastes good!
Awesome bro 💯 I cook my fish whole in the oven and pick flesh off the whole thing 😉
Oh don’t share our delicacy😂😂😂😂I have some in my refrigerator at the moment..Breakfast🤤
The brain and eyes are the best part of a fish...people that are just eating the fillets missed a lot.
In Bangladesh, we love each part of fish.
We don't waste any parts..
I love the fish head with curry ..it's yummy
