As you tuck into your fish and chips, and maybe a crayfish stick, you probably do not give a thought to how that fish ended up on your dinner plate.
The story behind that story is being told in a new 10-part series, Million Dollar Catch, that began last Wednesday.
The first episode grabbed me hook, line and sinker.
The hunt is on in the oceans off New Zealand's south coast to find crayfish for the lucrative Chinese market.
We were introduced to typical southern men who have mortgaged their homes to buy fishing trawlers so they can take to the icy southern waters in the hunt for the big catch - the million-dollar catch.
The stars of the show are mostly based in Bluff and last week the southern most township in New Zealand rolled out the red carpet to honour them just before the programme went to air.
These guys are probably already household names in Bluff; soon they will be known to thousands around the country and worldwide as the series has been sold to Australia and some European countries.
Some of them resemble boy racers on water.
They are probably not saints on shore and they know how to have a great time on the ocean.
It is a well-made documentary series with all the elements of successful storytelling - drama, a dash of comedy, thrills, spills.
Perhaps the only downer was the narrator, who sounded as if he was reading from the latest Indiana Jones script.
The camera-work is stunning, the scenery jaw-dropping and the characters likeable.
I especially enjoyed one of the fishermen hiring Richard "Hannibal" Hayes to fly in and pick up his load so he could get a head start on others selling their catches.
I'm hooked.
A quick word on the Academy Awards from last week and the much-talked-about change of format, which saw the show ditch the traditional, one-dimensional approach of two presenters standing in front of an auto-cue,
for five previous winners personally addressing the nominees in the audience.
It was a nice touch.
Seeing acting stars taking the audience through the nomination spiel was refreshing, and should be repeated next year.
Even if just to see how the likes of Dustin Hoffman, Kevin Kline and Anthony Hopkins are looking these days.
And even though the late Heath Ledger's win for his remarkable performance as the Joker was no great surprise, it was still a magic moment.
Don't miss: (ital on) Dancing with the Stars, (ital off) TV1, 8.30pm tonight: I don't know my sambas from my foxtrots but there is plenty of fun to be had watching
celebrities shuffle onto the dance floor.
The over-used Jason Gunn can be a tad annoying but the sniping from the judges is worth flicking over for.
Don't bother: (ital on) Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares USA: (ital off) Don't get me wrong, I like Gordon Ramsay.
But it seems as if he is on every second programme.
There's only so much I can take.
