Ocean Blue Seafoods is a fish and chips restaurant on High Street in Epuni, Lower Hutt, known for friendly service, crumbed fish with excellent texture and flavour, and golden chips. The menu includes fried chicken alongside traditional fish and chips, with reasonable prices and repeat customers praising the quality.
A good fish and chips place rests on one fundamental: keeping oil clean and hot. Temperature matters—chips that are golden and crispy require precision, while battered fish should be light and dry. The best places source decent fish (blue warehou, snapper, or local varieties) and crumb it fresh rather than using pre-made batters. Regulars develop loyalty by knowing the shop maintains standards consistently and doesn't cut corners on portions. Fried chicken and fritters show whether the kitchen takes pride in everything that leaves the counter.
