Good fish and chips starts with fresh fish cooked to order in a light, crisp batter, with chips that are golden outside and fluffy inside. Regulars know to ask what is freshest that day, since species change with the catch, and to eat soon after cooking, because steam softens batter in the paper. Calling ahead on busy Friday evenings and weekends can save a wait, and a shake of salt and vinegar is best added just before you eat. A shop that cooks in fresh oil will taste noticeably cleaner, and sides such as a scoop of chips are good value for a family feed.
For Tauriko and Pyes Pa families, it is a local option for a fish and chip supper.
