Free Fish Heads

Matt Watson launches Free Fish Heads app - APP AVAILABLE NOW!

THE APP THAT GETS YOU FISH HEADS FOR FREE!

In 2013, Matt Watson host of The ITM Fishing Show, started a community and conservation project to make better use of our marine resource, clean up our beaches and provide people with a fresh fish meal, for free.

The website freefishheads.co.nz was set up where people who want free fish heads could register online and people returning from fishing could visit the site and in a few short clicks find contact details for people in their area who would come and collect their unwanted fish heads.

Fish head lovers jumped onto the free fish heads website to register - which has over 20,000 registered users to date, and fishers that previously dumped the fish heads and frames are contacting these fish head lovers to collect the unwanted fish. This has not only provided thousands of appreciated meals, it has meant tonnes of fish that would have been wasted have been eaten instead, so that's tonnes of fish that have been conserved.

Due to all this demand, Matt Watson has come up with the idea of an App to make it easier for free fish-head donors to find recipients. There is just about an App for everything these days, and now there’s an App that gets you fish heads, and it also brings people together through the act of giving.

The development of the App was made possible with help from LegaSea, Omni-net and a good bloke from Northland who wishes to remain anonymous.

The Free Fish Heads App service has been provided for free and is available to both Apple and Android users.
