Super 7 Picton is a fish and chips takeaway at 100 Waikawa Road in Waikawa, just south of Picton in the Marlborough Sounds, holding a 3.8 rating from 29 Google reviews.
At its best, the dish is simple: fresh fish in a thin, crisp batter, and chips thick enough to stay fluffy inside. What separates a good shop from a forgettable one is timing — fish cooked to order rather than holding in a warmer, and oil kept fresh enough that the batter fries golden instead of dark. In a port town it is worth asking what came in on the boat; regulars tend to visit early or between rushes, then eat straight from the paper down by the water. Salt, vinegar and a wedge of lemon do the rest.
Super 7 Picton sits on Waikawa Road, well placed for a paper-wrapped feed after a day on the water.
