Paua
Paua It is little wonder that black marketers seek out paua; such is its pulling power.
Referred to as ‘back gold’ by the poachers, paua fetches a good price on both the legitimate and black markets, with much of the ill-gotten gain smuggled out of the country. Unfortunately its popularity and shrinking stocks put it outside the reach of the average household, unless you are lucky enough to be close to a coast where there are good paua populations at hand.
The common black-foot paua has to be 125mm in length. The average size and abundance improves the further south you travel. A rarity in the Far North for all but a few in the know, in the South Island paua is common tucker enjoyed by many.
