Eastern Beach Dairy & Fish n' Chips is an ice cream shop and corner dairy at 1 Eastern Beach Road, Manukau City, Auckland, holding a 4.7 rating from 22 Google reviews.
The pleasure of the dairy-and-chippy formula is the pairing: a scoop in a cone for the walk to the water, hot chips eaten on the seawall or sand. A good dairy cabinet keeps the ice cream cold enough to hold its shape, and a good fryer turns out batter and chips that survive the trip — a queue on a summer evening is usually a good sign. Regulars tend to ask for the fish cooked fresh rather than taken from the warmer, and to time the order so the chips are still hot at the beach.
At 1 Eastern Beach Road, close to the shoreline that gives the street its name, this is exactly where ice cream and fish and chips belong.
