Fish and chip shops near the coast are often judged on how fresh the catch is and on whether the batter stays crisp on the drive home. Cash-only takeaways are common in small towns, so it is worth bringing notes or checking before you order. Chips that sit in the box for a long time can go soft, so eating soon after you collect is a good idea. Asking what fish came in that day is a sensible way to choose.
It is a classic old-style takeaway for a fresh fish supper in Maketu, on the way to the beaches.
