Notes
'Zeand Fishing' also includes a walk through 'reef building' (growing more fish in the sea) as a way of creating the balance needed to be a truly sustainable fisher.
Highlights
- The day starts with a brief introduction to the local history of Opotiki. Good fishers know the value of 'connecting' with the local area.
- The second part to 'Zeand Fishing' is about 'honoring' the fish and fishery. From theory to action we put wisdom and knowledge into practice.
- Fishing is more than dangling a baited hook and hoping. Keeping focus, detachment, experiencing at onement, all become the way of the Zeand Fisher.
- Making the most of your harvest is a must for sustainability. Giving some away, filleting to eat tonight, and smoking fish to last for tomorrow.
- Coming together and 'celebrating' over a meal of very fresh fish is our completing stage of Zeand Fishing. Sushimi, marinated, fried, baked, smoked.
