A good fish and chip shop is judged on its batter, which should be crisp and light rather than heavy, and on oil that is kept clean and hot, since oily chips are a common complaint. Fish is best cooked to order, so a short wait can be a sign of freshness. Portion sizes and prices vary a lot between shops, so it helps to ask what comes with the chips. Many regulars visit at quieter times, when the fryer is less busy and the fish is more likely to come straight from the pan.
Its Riccarton Rd shop is a practical stop for a fish and chip dinner in Riccarton.
