Seafood Takeaways is a fish and chip shop at 730 Manukau Rd in Royal Oak, Auckland, holding a 4.2 Google rating from 308 reviews, with customers praising fresh, well-balanced food, crisp chips and burgers they rate with the best.
The difference between ordinary fish and chips and the memorable kind comes down to the fryer. Fish cooked to order in clean, hot oil gives a batter that crunches rather than sogs, and chips get the same benefit — crisp outside, fluffy within. Ask what came in freshest that day rather than ordering on autopilot; a shop busy with locals at dinnertime is usually a good sign, since fried food fades fast under a warmer. The best takeaway shops put the same care into their burgers as their fish, building each one to order.
On Manukau Rd in Royal Oak, within reach of One Tree Hill and the coast-to-coast walkway, Seafood Takeaways is an easy stop for locals and walkers alike.
