- Experience a fishing trip onboard a commercial trawler - catching Hoki in the Cook Strait, out of the port of Picton, New Zealand.
Apart from lots of Fish & Ships, the antics of dolphins (including an albino one), albatrosses, smaller seabirds and fur seals can be watched.
This is a revised and enhanced version of my earlier Hoki Trawler video, and is now dedicated to skipper Wayne Mitchell (RIP).
Original Music written, performed and produced by Diarmuid (from the 'Down to you ' album).
Hope you enjoy the experience.
That was brilliant. Its good to see what goes on out there.
Great white fish. Love the flavor.
LOL those birds waiting for a feed
love it we are truly the only real hunters left
Thanks Capt Lee: glad you appreciated the video.
I ate 3 beer battered sealord hoki fillets today, was very nutritious!
R.I.P,wayne mitchell skipper of the ikawai , gone but not for gotten
Thanks Skudly: glad you appreciated it.
This is why they have decimated the hoki in the cook strait.
Very cool
nice vid bro great to see brought back a few beautiful memories when i were crew on fv marialuisa based in wellington i used to look forward to hoki time fast trips with quick turn arounds and great money ! cheers sole survivor from 96!
Thanks Brendan: glad you enjoyed it.
i sure did brother fantastic
nice vid. @ 2:00 is the old girl I spent 10 yrs on. The Otakou. We did our far share of time in the Strait and down the Coast. Fun times and fast money.
Hey bud sorry this a bit late but did you work for sealord? If yes good company! Thanks
What is the correct pronunciation of hoki?
I often hear both "hockey" and "hock-eye."
Hello McCheese, it is locally pronounced "Hoak-ee" - Hoak as in "croak" (as in frog), and "ee" as in the letter "E": two syllables. They were initially called "Whip-tail", and were wasted/discarded by the mega-tonnes. Also known as "blue grenadier", "blue hake", "New Zealand whiptail", "whiptail" or "whiptail hake" (Macruronus novaezelandiae), being a merluccid hake of the family Merlucciidae. They actually taste quite OK (not a patch on White Wharehou or Blue Moki) and are a reasonably bland, nutritious, palatable, affordable, white fish. Us Kiwis can't afford to buy the export species (most of our commercial catch) so we eat cheap Hoki, Red Cod, Kahawai, or even imported Tilapia from Asia, or resort to battery-chicken instead of healthy fish. Our government used to have a policy of making fresh fish affordable to all Kiwis, but that was "back-in-the-day"!
Thanks for the quick response and interesting information.
Which countries do the export species end up going?
I understand fish exports go to Australia, the USA, Asia and Europe: you can probably find further details online.
Diarmuid NZ I’ve been buying blue grenadier here lately and frozen fillets are cheap as $7.99 a kilo. I think I have about 8 kilos in my freezer.. the stuff I buy is labelled as Australian but you’d never know if it came from over there.
mccheeseburger01 it is 100% in fillet o fish in aus, nz and singapore
QTH of this ??? I ´m a Skipper from Argentina... : )
Do you ever catch any of those dolphins I saw swimming close to the net?
yes, they get turned into crab sticks and fillet o fish at mcdonalds
@@chemtrailer6078 Hideous and immoral.
@@tuilorraine so are kinas
Perhaps all the food you eat now comes on polystyrene trays and wrapped in polythene! In the real world, someone has to butcher the meat; catch the fish; grow the crops and make the clothing that you merely buy. Your ancestors did just that - otherwsie you wouldn't be here!
Tell em like it is
fish stocks look healthy
Not opposed to commercial fishing as I eat fish, but I hear that fishing in NZ is putting an endangered dolphin species more at risk.
Thoughts, dty2dty2?
+wyle killiams The data on any non-fish bycatch is published on the Department of Conservation website - www.doc.govt.nz. Regards, D.

Thanks,

Thank you for those links Wyle: I found them both surprising and very interesting. I'm just the cameraman/editor/musician on this video and not a commercial fisherman. I hope you enjoyed the video: I enjoyed making it and was keen to share the experience with viewers - especially seeing an albino dolphin, and that eerie noise of warps snapping on the winches. Do please keep eating fish (I eat heaps - way more often than meat - as you can see from my diving and salmon videos); they are reportedly very good for the brain, and general health, as well as tasting mega (I'm having Thai-style, wild salmon curry for supper). Kind Regards, D.
wyle killiams l
agency info is there any Indonesian there
Ok
grozno
I feel so ashamed being in Australia and idiots telling me off to support only their local fish which is ridiculous expensive and I enjoy eating hake or hoki from nz from fish n chips shops here.
Such a disgrace.
And even Zagat are
correct when they say that Cod, haddock, salmon, herring taste so much better when that hoki fish.
We dont even feed our dogs with what hoki fillet.
You are trapped in global market and political correctness.
I just wondering if how much the crew earned for one trip
sorry but hoki only good for fish pie
Is it nice
grozno
+Nereo Grdovic Sorry Nereo, but does 'grozno' mean 'great' as in very good, or 'gross' and is terrible? If 'gross', then was it my music, my video editing, the video resolution at fault, or are you just opposed to commercial fishing? The difference is important to me.
