About this audio guide
This guide to the Auckland Fish Market starts at the early-morning auction on Jellicoe Street, then goes back to a man who stepped off a ship in 1864 and began fishing the Hauraki Gulf from an old pilot cutter. You'll hear about smoking snapper over kauri, a schooner bought in 1900 and the nets it dragged, and a company that grew into dozens of city fish shops. Best heard while strolling past the deli and the sushi counters.
