Interesting Menu Item

Hopefully my fish terminology ingnorance gets a laugh around here.

I am unfortunately away from home on business in New Zealand mostly on the east coast. For the holidays I was fortunate enough to get some time off to get some sightseeing in. I traveled to the west coast of NZ which a little more like the south pacific tropics than the east coast. I stopped at a seafood place for dinner and I see this as a menu item:



Couldn't get myself to call it "tur-bit".

I lived coastal in NY and SC for 25 years and never heard of it. Its apparently like a flounder.

I could hear it now ...

"I'll have the grilled turbo-t"

Waitress- "...the what?"

"Nevermind I'll have the fisherman's basket"

I wasn't with car guys so it would have been lost on them.

The price of food here is ridiculous, your standard McDs Big Mac meal is about $12 (even with the exchange rate its still about $9 US)
