The Maketū Whitebait by Werohia, is an energetic and fascinating story whose main characters
are whitebait (īnanga), those delicious morsels New Zealanders love turning
into fritters, delicious if you’re not first of all put off by the eyes (how
can anyone eat something with such precious little eyes?). The author
interweaves the story with fact and fiction; there is much to learn about the
life cycle and predators of one of New Zealand’s most sought after morsel.
Maketū Tuna (Eel)
by Werohia. Mr Tuna, the Eel of all Eels presides over the
Kaituna River. He is a slippery slimy creature who only thinks about succulent
fat morsels inside his puku. Whitebait is his weakness. Whitey, Tere and Freddy,
his old whitebait friends cleverly lure him into a whitebait net. But are they
really safe from him?
