Fish and chips is a humble trade but an exacting one: the hallmark of a good shop is fish cooked to order, so the batter arrives thin and crisp rather than thick and doughy, and chips with a fluffy middle and a properly fried outside. Regulars ask when the next batch is frying, since food kept under a warmer loses its crispness. Batter also softens quickly in its paper wrapping, so eat it promptly. Takeaways of this kind in suburban Auckland often combine menus, which makes them handy for feeding a household with mixed tastes.
For an affordable, no-fuss feed in East Tamaki, Lucky Star sits handily on E Tamaki Road.
