Blue Dolphin Takeaways is a fish and chips shop on Milton Street in Roslyn, Palmerston North, holding a 4.1 rating on Google. Good takeaway fish and chips live or die on freshness: the best shops cook to order, so the batter comes out shatteringly crisp rather than steaming soft in its wrapping, and chips are thick-cut rather than reheated from an earlier batch. A short wait at the counter is often a good sign — a basket pulled straight from the fryer beats one that has been sitting under a warmer. Locals tend to time visits around the evening rush, when phone orders pile up, and eat while it is hot; ask for the fish cooked fresh and be generous with salt and vinegar. For a proper paper-wrapped feed in Roslyn, Blue Dolphin is handy on Milton Street.
