Good fish and chips depends on fresh fish, a light, crisp coating and hot, clean oil, so the best order is the day's fresh fish, cooked to order. Ask what is best today, since snapper, hoki and tarakihi come and go with the catch, and a potato fritter or a scoop of kumara chips is a Kiwi favourite on the side. Eat soon after cooking, because steam softens batter in the paper, and kerbside pickup helps if parking is tight. Friday evenings and sunny weekends are the busiest, so ordering a little early saves a wait.
For Parnell locals and visitors around Gladstone Road, it is a convenient place for a fish supper, whether collected or delivered.
