Winner winner, fish for dinner
Snapper is one of the tastiest eating fish you can catch and we have plenty right at our doorstep.
There’s a snapper with your name on it and the Reel Tuff team will help you catch it! Snapper is one of the most sought-after and prolific species in Auckland’s Hauraki Gulf and Firth of Thames. We generally target them but who knows what else we might catch!
Snapper can grow pretty big and make for an exciting fight – particularly for first-timers. Highly sought after due to their tasty, soft white flesh and minimal bones, snapper are a delicious fish to eat.
There are so many ways you can cook snapper – they’re great crumbed, battered and deep fried, in a ceviche (fresh ‘cooked’ in lime juice) or even smoked. It’s also delicious in a curry making it a real winner to take home for the chef in your household.
If you are looking to book a charter to target snapper, you’ll want to choose the local experts! Skipper Brad and the team on Grunty One will take you to the spots that they have personally checked out and fished at. Whether it’s a half day, full day or private charter for a special event, it’s our aim to send you home with dinner!
For further information, just get in touch and we’ll be happy to answer your questions.
