Free fish for a good cause

From Nights, 10:45 pm on 24 October 2024

A venture that links fish heads and frames that were previously going to waste, with people who want them, is looking to expand.

Since 2016 Kai Ika has distributed 425,000 kg of free fish bits  - mainly in Auckland and Wellington.

Now Kai Ika's trying to make free heads and frames accessible throughout the country.

Emile Donovan speaks to Sam Woolford, the head of LegaSea - which helps run the programme.
