Maori people live in a modern culture with access to a wide range of resources, as in most "first world" countries. They therefore eat what they choose, according to their individual needs, budget, and preference, whether the food is purchased, raised, hunted or gathered.
Traditional Maori foods are still very important to Maori, especially wild foods.
Maori greatly enjoy fish and seafood such as shellfish. Eels are a much loved traditional staple.

Traditionally eaten birds that are not now protected species such as weka and titi (muttonbirds).
Wild introduced animals such as wild pigs, wild deer and wild ducks,
