Devon Sea Foods is a fish and chips shop at 43 Devon Street in Glenholme, Rotorua, with a 4.5 Google rating and a Facebook page for updates.
Good fish and chips are simple to describe and hard to do: fish cooked to order so the batter stays crisp rather than steaming soft in a warmer, and chips fried in clean, hot oil so they're golden outside and fluffy within. Inland shops live and die by the freshness of their deliveries, so regulars often ask what came in that day — tarakihi, hoki and gurnard are the usual candidates — and wait while their order hits the fryer rather than taking fish from a cabinet. Paper wrapping is part of the ritual, but it traps steam, so eat promptly.
Tucked into Devon Street in the heart of Glenholme, Devon Sea Foods is a handy stop for the classic Kiwi takeaway.
