Martin Street Takeaways is a fish and chip takeaway at 6a Martin Street, Strathern, Invercargill, rated 3.4 from 193 Google reviews. Reviewers mention sweet and sour pork and Chinese dishes alongside the fish and chips, and phone orders and friendly people, though experiences are mixed, with some praising value and others reporting poor food quality.
A good fish and chip shop depends on fresh fish, a crisp coating and clean, hot oil, because oil that is old or dirty makes everything taste dark and heavy. If you are trying a shop for the first time, order something simple such as fish and chips and judge the colour, crispness and taste, then try other dishes next time. Calling ahead for a phone order saves a wait on busy evenings, and eating straight after cooking keeps food at its best. If something is not right, mention it politely and early, since a good shop will want to fix it, and consider a smaller first order to test quality before ordering for a family.
For Strathern and Invercargill locals, it is a neighbourhood takeaway for a quick fish and chip or Chinese-style meal, best judged by your own first visit.
