Samos Seafood and Roti Haven is a fish and chips shop at 18 Tocker St in Belmont, Lower Hutt, with a 4.2 Google rating. As the name hints, roti shares the menu with the usual takeaway fare.
Good fish and chips come down to freshness and timing. The better shops cook to order, so a short wait on a busy Friday night is usually a good sign, and it pays to ask which fish is freshest that day rather than defaulting to the standard. The batter should be light and crisp rather than leathery, and seasoned regulars often ask for the chips in a separate bag so steam doesn't soften the fish on the way home.
For Belmont residents after a proper paper-wrapped feed without heading into central Lower Hutt, this Tocker St takeaway is right on the doorstep.
