Hook into Stewart Island

Native immigrant populations such as Richard "Squizzy" Square's can be traced back to the rams, mussel pickers, shipbuilders and fishers who made this island their own. The number of inhabitants is less than 400 and many of them are active in fisheries. The more you go southwards I like its pearl-pink meat and its delicacy.

Cultivating their own produce and making their own sandwiches, they buy their own freshwater seafood from the quay shed or directly from the Big Glory Bay farm. On an earlier trip to the island last fall, when it was raining and blowing so heavily, it was out of the question to go fishin'.

It was Squizzy who presented us to Anna Brown, one of the few birdwatchers on the island and a descendant of the outstanding South Island boss Hone Tuhawaiki. Ana is harvesting sheep from Green Island, a virgin, predator-free fortress in the Ruapuke Group, private property of her own private aviary.

Unfortunately, she no longer has any fowl when we go there - it was a spectaculary poor time of year - so we are following another trail that leads us to a young lady who is representing a new breed of birdwatchers who wants to preserve our heritage.

The former playwright Annette Eiselt leaves Dresden five years ago for a new lease of fancy on Stewart Island with kayak driver Phil Dove. Lania's dad trained her to send, pick and conserve when she was very young, and now she brings her own children to the family's cabin on the island of Rukawahakura.

The aquaculture is the new border and is perfect for the remote area of Stewart Island. It is an exquisite fish and the clams are delicious, but the latest trend is the breeding of excavator-osysters, which we like to call bluff.

There' s always been an oyster around Stewart Island, but the most prolific bedding was caught early by colonists who shove the crustaceans into their vessels so quickly that they disappeared within five years. This was a "true beauty" and made him think about the opportunity to grow an oyster on a rop.

It was a huge dare - it was new ground - but after 10 years of experimenting, Jim and his woman Hilli produce a fair amount of extraordinary esters on their Big Glory Bay estate. on his workboat one mornings. Heaven and the ocean were gray, but it was quiet and as we raced over Paterson Inlet, past Ulva Island and through the void in Big Glory, I found the loneliness uplifted.

" Anyway, these ranchers are doing it, their esters are damn good. Hopefully more people will try them. Hopefully the natives are right when they say that Stewart Island will one of these days be known for the Big Glory Bay esters. Notebook The best off-peak period to come to the island is after the working week-end until Easter.
