For many years NZ Fishing News ran a recipe column featuring easy-to-cook meals suitable for the boat, bach, caravan or campsite.

In conjunction with Spot X Publications, the magazine is starting up the column again, and seeking input from readers. But it doesn’t end there. Editor Grant Dixon is also compiling a Wild Foods cookbook that will include the best of the recipes submitted, and will be on sale prior to Christmas.

“The recipes need to be relatively simple, using ingredients readily available in most supermarkets or greengrocery stores,” Grant says.

The book will reflect the wide diversity of fish and game available in New Zealand, and gives NZ Fishing News readers an opportunity to have their favourite meal published in either the magazine or Wild Foods NZ.

“We have many of the common species covered, and while we welcome recipes including them, we are specifically seeking recipes for the following: dogfish, elephant fish, flounder, frostfish, gemfish, kahawai, kina, maomao, marlin, parore, paua, piper, red cod, red snapper, salmon, stingray, tarakihi, trevally, trumpeter, warehou, whitebait, Canada geese, venison, chamois, goat, pukeko, rabbit, quail, pheasant, swan, tahr, wallaby, muttonbird and wild pig.

The recipes should be laid out starting with a name, followed by a list of ingredients, then the directions. The latter should also include any tips in preparing the meat/fish for cooking. Follow the style used in this month’s recipe.

It would also be very useful if you have an image/photo of the dish produced and/or of the fish/game in question, so feel free to include these as well. If sending via email, the image should be at least 1MB in size to ensure good reproduction. Lastly, don’t forget to include your name, address and a daytime contact number.

Your entries can be sent via mail to ‘Wildfoods’ c/o NZ Fishing News, Box 12-965, Penrose, Auckland 1642, or email them to grant.dixon@fishnz.co.nz with ‘Wildfoods’ in the subject box.
