Cashmere Fish Supply is a takeaway fish shop on Cashmere Rd in Cashmere, on the Port Hills side of Christchurch, rated 4.4 on Google.
The mark of a good fish and chip shop is fish cooked to order, so it pays to ask what came in fresh that day — around Christchurch that often means blue cod, gurnard or lemonfish, and it can change through the week. Batter should be light and crisp, chips thick-cut and well drained, and the parcel wrapped in paper so steam escapes instead of turning everything soggy on the way home. Friday evenings are when the wait is longest, which regulars take as the price of fish straight from the fryer — phoning the order ahead is the usual workaround.
For this pocket of the Port Hills, a solidly rated fish shop on Cashmere Rd is a handy thing to have nearby.
