They used to catch the many species of fish. They were also able to boil and eat herbs, berries and roots. Molluscs like the Paua, tuatua, pipi, toheroa are also everywhere, as are greenlip mussels, crayfish, squid, octopus, and other seafood. Birds of a huge variety were certainly on the Maoris' menu. The Moa, a giant, flightless bird, was eaten into extinction at the time. And then there are the sweet potatoes, called Kumara. They also ate the tui and the wood pigeon.
The list goes on and on, there are many things that they ate that I have not mentioned. Such as: puha, watercress, muttonbird, weka, kiwi, kuri, and of course the favourite delicacy, kaitangata.
