Can only give you Wellington prices - lobster aka crayfish about $40/kilo, oysters $10-15 dozen, depending on type - out of shell scallops $7 dozen - live green lipped mussels $3/kilo - pre frozen king prawns $10/kilo - 200g smoked salmon $9-15 - fresh salmon $18-22/kilo - firm white fish from $8/kilo for warehou/trevally to $20/kilo for groper/snapper. Haven't seen fresh tuna for a while - maybe out of season.

Thank you, cottageinthesky, for the information from Wellington. I probably should not have been so restrictive with the initial request.

Kindest regards,

Biscuits

Mmmmm I can't count in NZ$ yet and I've forgotten about kilos since I moved from France over 11 years ago, *BUT* that all sounds extremely scrumptious!

I calculate that lobster is $12.44 USD per pound which is better than the $15.99 I pay in Austin for the live variety.

From what I have read, the NZ variation is sweeter, and therefore thought to be superior to the Maine lobster.
