good luck and be very careful if you do find any as there are big fines for buying illegal Paua, you can buy it from MAF certified Paua farms if you have money and luck finding some. but the blackmarket in Paua is big business and fines are large for anyone involved in it.

Common sense is not as common as you think.

Oh...I did not know that,I just simple thought that they sell it in a shop just like selling seafoods.

You will also be highly likely to find some at one of the retailers at the Auckland Fish Market down at the waterfront (Jellicoe St)?

Yep, I think I've seen them there too. Any of the larger shops (like Oceanz) should be able to get them for you.
