Snack 'n' Go is a fish and chip shop on State Highway 2 at Maramarua in Franklin, rated 4.6 on Google.
Good fish and chips live or die by the fryer. The batter crisps in seconds, chips should come out of clean, hot oil, and everything is at its best within minutes of leaving the basket — nothing improves under a warmer. At any takeaway, turnover is the tell: a steady stream of orders usually means fresh oil and food that never waits around. Timing matters too, since the best feed is the one cooked to order rather than scooped from the drawer.
Snack 'n' Go sits right on SH2 at Maramarua, a straightforward stop for locals and travellers on the road between Auckland and the Coromandel.
