Sorry to hyjack a thread but Fisher I was over those marks today and found a mega workup with whales dolphins gannets and Mutton birds going nuts. Picked up some nice fish under it with good hits as soon as the softie got to the bottom. I didn't keep any snapper though as I had kept a good sized Kingie already so have a mountain of fish in my fridge right now. Going to smoke the wings and bones off that tomorrow.

We have a favourite 'recipe' using red cabbage but it's not cooked. The only salad my fussy daughter will eat is the side salad served at our local Japanese restaurant. Equal amounts of very finely sliced red cabbage and iceberg lettuce, and grated carrot. Boring so far I know but there's a McCormick brand sesame dressing sold at Countdown (international food section) which is absolutely delicious on this salad. I've also noticed a similar but different brand of sesame dressing in Countdown's fresh vege section too. Now I hate coleslaw but the two of us eat bowl after bowl of this sesame salad! Red cabbage is very good for you by the way. I've got 'proper' recipes using red cabbage but I haven't tried them myself yet. Do you want me to post them anyway!

I think it is the Mccormick's sesame dressing you are referring to- it is an extremely healthy dressing, the Japanese use it. I have had to post it to London to my daughter as she is quite fussy with dressings and really liked that one when she lived in Japan a few years ago.

I'd tried to replicate the restaurant dressing at home but could never get it quite right. So much easier to buy it in a bottle - and if it's extremely healthy like you say, then that's an added bonus!

Mrs McGregor's Cabbage Pickle (from the Fiordland Cook Book)
Ingredients: 1 large cabbage (it says green but red should be OK!), 4 medium sized onions, 1 litre vinegar, 1/2 cup flour, 2 cups sugar, 1 T curry powder, 1 T dry mustard, 1 T turmeric, 1/2 litre extra vinegar.
Method: Shred the cabbage and onions finely. Place into a large bowl and sprinkle the salt over the surface, leave for 24 hours. Drain. Tip into a preserving pan, add the litre of vinegar and boil slowly for 20 minutes. Mix the flour, sugar, curry powder, mustard and turmeric together. Stir in the 1/2 litre of vinegar and mix until smooth. Add to boiling cabbage stirring until thick. Boil for 5 minutes. Spoon into dry hot jars. Seal.

This is one I plan to try soon.
Russian Vegetable Pie (from 'Fresh & Natural Vegetarian Dishes for NZers')
Ingredients: 500g mushrooms, 3 cups sliced red cabbage, 75g cream cheese, cheese pastry (see below), 1/2 t marjoram, 4 hardboiled eggs, 2 sliced onions, 100g butter, 1/2 t tarragon.
Method: Line a 23cm pie dish with pastry. Saute mushrooms in 50g butter. Put into bowl. Saute cabbage, onions, herbs, salt and pepper, in remaining 50g butter. Stir constantly until softened and wilted. Spread cream cheese on bottom of pie crust. Slice eggs and arrange in a layer on top of cream cheese. Cover with cabbage and onion mixture. Cover this layer with the mushrooms. Cover with a pastry circle, flute edges and bake at 190 degrees C for 30-40 minutes or until crust is light brown.
Note: Cheese Pastry - soften 90g butter and cream with 90g (about 1 1/4 cups) of cheese. Add 1 cup of wholemeal flour and mix until the dough holds together. Knead gently, adding water if too crumbly. Chill for one hour before using. I don't see why you couldn't use bought savoury short pastry instead! Or even puff pastry!

beaker59 cheers. I have 5 med sized red cabbage left in my garden from the winter harvest. Like it done that way. Good ole agria. got to be the best spud about apart from jerseys, halved and boiled with butter parsley sauce all over them.(hurry up and grow lol) . I need to use up the fish in my freezer .snapper, gemfish, bass, kingfish, tuna, and broadbill before I can really take the boat out again. smoked broadbill will be used when family come up for labour weekend and still have an 8kg smoked snapper as well. John Dory, such a delicate but ugly fish :} pan fried in butter.! We mechanical jig for kings up here. good workout and always come home with fish. most going back over the side regardless of size even if 20+ (only allow one small one each to take home).

Keep the boat at Gulf Harbour marina its a small keeler we also have been fishing workups out at the 45m mark behind Tiri but the fishing is best described as patchy at the moment Sunday it blew up so we came in close behind Tiri and fished reefs around Pidgeon Island hence the JD. last Tuesday it was very calm and we found a good workup out at the 45 and managed to get some good snapper and a big bronzie also lots of dolphins and a few whales seen. I also work as deckie on a few charter boats and the fishing has been average at best unless we get onto a good workup as you say although we do pick up some good fish in the channels getting better every week though so looking forward to next month.
EDIT to add just checked your marks yep thats where we've been finding them too but I thought you were much further north!
