Fresh Fish Basket is a fish and chips takeaway at 10 Bledisloe Street in Foxton, Horowhenua, with a 4.3 Google rating.
A good fish and chip shop lives or dies by two things: fish cooked to order and batter that stays crisp rather than going heavy and greasy. Expect a short wait while your order is fried fresh — worth it over anything held under a warmer. Ask what came in most recently; a straight answer is usually a good sign. And in true Kiwi fashion, a fish and a scoop of chips, maybe with a potato fritter, is the classic way to judge a shop.
Set on Bledisloe Street in the middle of Foxton, a short drive from Foxton Beach, it is well placed for a paper-wrapped dinner on the way home.
