Fresh fish at 600m!

Advertorial Gordon Tantrum and his fresh fish van plans to become well-known in the Waimarino. He extends his service, part of J&J Distributors of Woodville, to the Waimarino this month, selling a wide range of seafood. "We'll have none of the frozen stuff," said John Gooding, the owner of the business. "Just the freshest fish imaginable". The fish is bought direct from fishermen and processed at John Gooding's factory in Feilding, from where the van sets off on its weekly

trek around the southern North Island. In other parts of the run the lure of very fresh fish at affordable prices brings back customers time and timo anain Range "Our range will vary, depending on the weather and the seasons," said John. But no matter how 1 bad the weather Gordon will appear in the right place at the right time, 99 per cent of the time, said John. That's even if he only had a range of four or five different kinds of fish.

The range will cover snapper, terakihi, john dory, gurnard, groper, blue cod, butter fish and smoked fish. Cheaper lines will include moki, trevally, warehou and kingfish. Mussels will also be available. "And don't forget, the quality of our fish is guaranteed," said John. For those who wanted crayfish, scallops, king prawns and other delecacies, ask Gordon. "We would rather try and get these specialities when required than have them sitting around waiting for people to buy them." he said. Catering enquiries are also welcome.
