Fish in general tastes foul to me, but as long as it is not fried and without chips as a side I think I can tolerate it. Never heard of NZ fish dishes; though.
We're an archipelago. Here a fish dish, there a fish dish, etc.
You should have a go at our chocolate fish.

Chocolate fish ?! I heard about "Duck with Orange" -actually tried it and it was really good-, I like strange stuff in food especially "fancy kind-of-strange", but my wildest experience in reach would be "cooking my own steak in restaurant", but I'll go for chocolate fish, totally.
BTW; ever tried "Konafa" or "Baqlawa" ?

You'd have starved to death how I came up. Trash fish tastes like trash, that's for sure, though.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I've tried both - they're a little too sweet for my taste.
For the record, 'chocolate fish' is a candy - a fish-shaped bit of marshmallow covered in chocolate. No actual fish are harmed in the making of this treat.

That's the problem of Arabic candy: too much sugar. A regular Konafa gets covered with "Sheera" which is pure liquid sugar, personally I only eat small bits of them.
There are worse sugary monsters in the Arabic kitchen; though.
I always thought that marshmallow is tasteless -I ate it raw; never cooked it on fire -_- -; the absence of real fish from "the chocolate fish" make it sound better for me :p
