It's been a busy week for Whangamata fish shop owner Merv Jackison whose
staff are working 14-hour days to keep up with the demand for the

Over the past six days Mr Jackison's The Blue Fish shop has sold 670kg
of chips and more than 250kg of tarakihi and gurnard as queues stretch
out the door and along Port Rd.
