A product to avoid. "Fisher king" seafood sold by Countdown.
I was foolish enough to buy a packet of 10 fishcakes from Countdown.
Clearly Countdown had thought that they were a local NZ product from a firm called "Seafood Marketing" in Christchurch. In fact, in minute print they are a VERY inferior Chinese import. They contain only 32% of a very inferior fish called Pollock and actually have hardly any taste of fish at all. Not only that the fish is from Alaskan waters and is obviously the product of some of the World's worst fishing methods. In fact I am not at all sure if they are legally "Fishcakes" at all as I seem to remember a figure of about 40% minimum fish for such a product. So beware of "cheap" products, even at a time of price inflation, it seems that supermarkets are not above selling inferior products to keep their prices down.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
