Omega 3 Seafoods is a fish and chip shop at 16 Mana Esplanade in Mana, Porirua, holding a Google rating of 3.6. Good fish and chips come down to timing: shops that fry to order turn out fish with a thin, shattering batter, while parcels left sitting under a warmer soon go leathery, so it is worth asking whether the fish is cooked fresh. The choice of fish matters too — in New Zealand a firm fillet such as tarakihi or gurnard holds its texture under batter where softer varieties can fall apart. Well-cooked chips should be crisp outside and floury within, and even the best fish and chips fade fast, which is why regulars eat theirs straight away. A shop on Mana Esplanade sits right by the water, so a parcel eaten from the paper on the shore nearby is the classic way to finish it.
