Word origin

The term 'hoki' is derived from the Mฤori language, which is spoken by the indigenous people of New Zealand. The Mฤori term 'hoki' refers to a type of fish that was traditionally caught by the native population. The fish itself became a significant part of the local diet and fishing culture in New Zealand. In the 19th century, as commercial fishing developed, hoki gained prominence in the fishing industry, particularly for its economical value and taste. By the late 20th century, hoki became a staple in both New Zealand and international seafood markets. Today, hoki is processed and exported worldwide, making it popular in many cuisines. The fish is not just valued for its culinary properties but also plays an important role in the economy of New Zealand, contributing to the fishing industry significantly.
