DoorToShop is a multi-merchant marketplace where shoppers can buy from local New Zealand stores. The Gone Fishing Pack is a boxed set of five 100g pouches of dry rub made by MeatHeads NZ in Hobsonville, Auckland, containing Porktopia for pork, Blazin' Grazin for beef, Rambo for lamb, Bok Boken for chicken and Donkey for fish and seafood — five hundred grams in total. It differs from the four-pouch Start Up Pack only by the inclusion of the fish blend, and from the six-pouch Fish 'n Chips pack by the absence of the vegetable blend. In practice the fish pouch is used far more slowly than the other four, because fish takes roughly half the seasoning of the same weight of meat and is seasoned on one side of a fillet rather than both. Fresh-caught fish should be chilled and gutted as early as possible and kept cold, since fish deteriorates faster than other proteins and no seasoning compensates for a fish that has warmed. Before cooking it should be dried thoroughly, including the cavity of a whole fish. A whole fish is scored with two or three diagonal cuts to the bone on each side, which lets heat into the thickest part so it cooks evenly and gives seasoning somewhere to sit other than the skin; the rub goes into the cuts and the cavity, and lightly on the outside. Fish should be seasoned within about fifteen minutes of cooking and ideally just before, because salt draws moisture from a thin fillet immediately and a fillet left seasoned for hours is being cured. It should be cooked hot and left undisturbed, since fish releases from the pan or grill once a crust has formed and a fillet that will not turn is not ready. Pouches carried onto a boat should be decanted into a small dry container, since foil pouches and sea air are a poor combination. Merchants dispatch the next business day and courier delivery takes 1 to 3 business days; free delivery applies above $69, and there is no minimum order value. Returns are handled by the store that sold the item and the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 applies.

Frequently Asked Questions: The Gone Fishing Pack

What is in the Gone Fishing Pack?

Five 100g pouches: Porktopia for pork, Blazin' Grazin for beef, Rambo for lamb, Bok Boken for chicken, and Donkey for fish and seafood. Five hundred grams of seasoning in total.

How is it different from the Start Up Pack?

One pouch: Donkey, the fish and seafood blend. The other four are the same.

How is it different from the Fish 'n Chips pack?

The Fish 'n Chips pack is this same line-up with a sixth pouch, Spudhead, the vegetable seasoning. If you are cooking chips or roast vegetables alongside the fish, that is the more complete set.

Is the pack cheaper than five single pouches?

The figures further up this page work it out live against a current single-pouch listing. Remember that a pack is only a saving on pouches you would have bought anyway.

How long before cooking should I season fish?

Minutes rather than hours — fifteen at the outside, and just before it goes on the heat is better. Salt draws moisture out of a fillet immediately, and there is very little thickness for it to work on. A fish left seasoned overnight is being cured rather than seasoned.

How much should I use on fish?

Roughly half what you would use on the same weight of meat, and on one side of a fillet rather than both. That is also why the fish pouch in this pack will outlast the other four.

Should I take this on a boat?

Take some of it. Sea air and foil pouches do not get on — decant what you expect to need into a small dry tin rather than carrying the pouches out, and keep the set itself somewhere dry at home.

What is not in it?

No game blend, no vegetable blend and no Tex-Mex blend. Those are Game On, Spudhead and Texican, sold separately and included in other packs.

What is in it, and is it suitable if I avoid something?

The ingredient and allergen statement printed on the pack is the only answer to that, and it is the maker's to give. This listing does not publish an ingredient list, and anything the seller's own description says about what the blend contains or is free of is their statement rather than ours. If you are avoiding an allergen, read the pack and ask the maker if anything is unclear.

How fast is delivery?

Orders are dispatched by the store the next business day and typically arrive within 1 to 3 business days by courier. Enter your address at checkout to confirm delivery coverage for your address.

How much does delivery cost?

Free delivery applies on orders above $69 in the Auckland region — the delivery fee is confirmed at checkout. There is no minimum order value.

What if it arrives damaged?

Photograph it as it arrived and contact the store the same day. Returns are handled by the store that sold the item, and nothing in a store's policy limits your rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993.
