“FRESH FOXTON WHITEBAIT.”
Whitebait may be small but they are very expensive (says the Post). That is the view hold by a party of Wellington motorists who visited Foxton last week-end in the hope of netting sufficient whitebait to provide meals for their respective families. After travelling many miles on the dusty country roads, sleeping out all night on hard camp beds, and going through several gallons of petrol, they managed to secure one whitebait—and that they “borrowed” from an unattended net belonging to an equally optimistic party nearby. They now consider that it is much easier—and cheaper to buy their whitebait at the local fish shops.
