Kumeu Fisheries is a fish and chip shop at 321A Main Road in Kumeu, Rodney, holding a 4.7 rating from 251 Google reviews and taking orders through its online menu. In this trade, freshness shows at the fryer: good shops cook fish to order so the batter stays crisp, and they change their oil often enough that chips come out golden and dry rather than limp and greasy. Regulars usually ask what the fish of the day is before choosing battered or crumbed, because the catch varies and the answer says a lot about a shop. A scoop of chips is the standard portion in New Zealand, and a few minutes' wait for fresh frying is the mark of a place doing it properly. For a township that doubles as a weekend stop on Auckland's wine trail, having fish and chips this well reviewed on Main Road is a handy thing.
