New Zealanders typically celebrate Christmas with summer vacations to the beach. Stores are decorated with images of Santa Claus and snowy scenes, even though New Zealand's climate is warm. While seafood has traditionally not been a major part of the diet in New Zealand due to high meat consumption, shellfish and fish have always been important in Maori culture, and many seafood names originate from the Maori language.

4. What is eaten?
●
New Zealand is a nation of islands. Its waters
contains many seafood and fish. However,
seafood has never been an important part of
the diet of New Zealanders. Fish consumption
has traditionally been low, because New
Zealanders usually eat a lot of meat. Only in
recent years is there a change in preferences
for seafood. However, shellfish and fish have
always been a significant aspect of the Maori
diet and many of the names of these seafood
and fish are of Maori origin.
