A good fish and chip shop cooks to order, with fresh fish in light, crisp batter and chips that stay crisp and hot. Choose between battered and crumbed fish, and add a classic extra such as a fritter or a fish cake if you like. A dinner-for-two set is good value for a couple or a small family, and a homemade patty burger is a Kiwi favourite. Eat soon after cooking, because steam softens batter in the paper, and if you plan to eat in, ask first whether the shop has seating.
For Kilbirnie and Roseneath locals, it is a long-running suburban shop for a fish supper or a quick takeaway.
