Good fish and chips depend on the oil temperature staying constant—a single degree matters for the crust. The fish itself has to be fresh enough that you don't need heavy batter to hide it; the best places use the day's catch. Chips must hit hot oil dry, and then the tricky part is keeping them crisp in the paper without steaming into mush. Some places punch holes in the wrapper to let steam escape, a small detail that separates rushed takeaway from proper craftsmanship.
JR's delivers the kind of attention to detail Onehunga locals have come to expect.
