Central Fisheries is a fish and chip shop at 233 Onehunga Mall in Onehunga, Auckland, with a Google rating of 4.8 from 108 reviews. Customers often mention the snapper, the light batter and the filleted fish, and one reviewer felt the portion of chips was small.
A good fish and chip shop is judged first on its batter, which should be light and crisp without tasting of old oil. The fish matters just as much, and firm, fresh snapper is a favourite with many diners. Chips should be hot and fluffy inside, and a short menu often means the kitchen can focus on a few things done well. Regulars tend to ask what came out of the fryer most recently, especially on a busy night.
For a crisp snapper or a fillet of fish in Onehunga, it is a well-reviewed shop on Onehunga Mall worth a visit.
