The traveller who has Tead of the great catches of trout at Eotorua goes to the thermal city in anticipation of tasting this delicacy to the full; in his mind's eye he sees it, grilled, boiled or otherwise cooked, piled high on the breakfast plate, specialised in at luncheon, and one of the chief courses at dinner. But, alas! The fish native to this Ashland is as rare to the tables of Rotorua's boardinghouses as are sparrows at sea; it seems that the Rotoruaian in his native home is “fed up" of trout, and he never considers the possibility of it- being relished by visitors, who are fed on schnapper fillets from travel arrived, it was discovered that land when they ask for fish. Similar complaint is made regarding Russell, where, according to visitors, “fish is allowed to rot on the beach while the table goes bare of it." •
