Lived there for a couple of years. Loved it.
"You'll never be a kiwi till you love our Watties sauce" you need NZ Tomato sauce with your fish in chips.
The BBQ Watties sauce is yummo and Yes it’s better then Heinz
He forgot New Zealand's fried mussel fritters.
There are no kiwis anymore. All the mass immigration from India etc killed our culture
@@joshishere96 yeah if u want to pay $9.
I'll give BBQ sauce a go not spicy or anything though I hope darn those seagulls though
If you want to be mobile while you’re eating Fish n Chips just tear a hole in a corner open and you have a Hot pocket of fish n chips, enjoy.
I do this while I carry them home on my bike 😊 nothing better!
You should try the lovely restaurant 1908 there. Great food and wine list.
Fair review. I tend to eat at least half of my chips first before I get to the fish. Reminds me to take a little bottle of vinegar when on a road trip. People here who say that's a small portion of chips are harking back to several years ago. Two tasty pieces of fish for $9 is a good deal. Getting chips with them is a bonus. There's not many takeaway outlets left that haven't substantially downsized their portions for the money.
I’m an Englishman who loves fish and chips, I live in the USA (where what is called fish and chips is generally very expensive and very poor quality), and have family in Australia where I love barramundi (and other fish) and chips. Used to visit Auckland when we had family there and watched f&c go gradually downhill. Nevertheless, the best fish and chips I ever had was at Shelley Beach near Auckland down by the bay - freshly landed gurnard and chips. Magnificent
My several trips across the Tasman haven't yielded any decent fish but their prawns in FNQ are next level.

The best fish and chips in this country are from Hampden Takeaways. Their Blue Cod and I think they use Makihikihi chips are head and shoulders above anything else in NZ. Eta mayonnaise is best with fish and chips, Watties tomato sauce is overrated that and other tomato sauces wouldn't go near mine except for maybe "Rocket Sauce" that is made in Wellington. The thought of malt vinegar makes my stomach churn.

Nice work G, your laconic style is perfectly suited to our cousins across the "dertch", glad you enjoyed the fish and chips.
welcome to NZ !
What a nice & informative video. Fish & chips in Portobello is so nice after running half marathon! 😎
Rats with wings. I go crazy and wave my hands and scream at them. YES, they will fly at your food and snatch it. Happened to me many times. I hate them!!!
Been in that chippy a few times, usually pretty decent.
Wise move not feeding that sea gull, 1 turns in 100 in 30 seconds if you throw the gull a chip
I saw a flock of seagulls and i ran no chips for you 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤
Hi man. Impressed on your pronunciation on the Tarakihi it sounded better than how 90% of "kiwis" say it. I've noticed a lot of "award winning" takeaways are pretty dam stingy in NZ. This guys prices are crap. Are you coming to the north island?
Most of the kiwi fish & chip shops have tomato and tarter sauce's...but its harder to find the old school shops that have Worcestershire sauce Lea & Perrins is the best
Pro tip: the elephant fish is made from real elephants.
No it's not. The fish gets it name from the protruding trunk appendage

Went for 4 week holiday to nz and lived on there meat pies and fish chips🔥🔥
You got lucky. In our house tarakihi is prized above nearly all others when we have fish and chips here in Auckland. Many Kiwis enjoy tomato sauce with their chip, vinegar is not commonly preferred. Most chip shops have sauce and other flavouring sachets on the counter for purchase. Enjoy your travels.
Lemon 🍋 you need lemon 🍋
Ohiwa Oyster farm...Gibbo's...Whakatohea mussels....delights of the kai moana
Vinegar is a thing here but most just use their own at home
Here in Australia in our Fish & Chip Shops (Chippies) is that you would Never Ever get Mushy Peas with your Fish & Chip Orders at any Chippie Shop anywhere here from places of any Towns &/or Cities all over Australia at all but the only thing you can only get is Tartare Sauce and also Vinegar and also a Slice of Lemon as well too & beside that (NOT) Only we have both Grilled Fish & Battered Fish but also these is Crumbed Fish that you can also have with your Chips & the Crumbed Fish Fillets is covered in Bread Crumbs instead of Batter of course.
Some shops are better than others.
Some use locally caught fresh fish, and some use frozen processed fish.
Love blue cod and nz snapper
Fish in the Fish and Chip shops in NZ are damned nice , actually better than in Britain. Usually the fish is prebattered in the UK and sits in a warmer . But In NZ they usually batter it on the spot as you order it and then they cook it , so it is absolutely nice and crisp . So different . I live on the Isle of Arran and theres a Chip shop by the Ferry Terminal that does the on the spot battering and theres local fish so that is good. I grew up in NZ , and I made myself cut out the treats as I was tempted too often when back on a visit. Much better than the takeaway. Though maybe you like more chips -sometimes they can make you too heavy so with 2 bits of fish I found the amount is just right. ( I think the chip shop in the UK has been going down-hill over the years maybe with costs and so on but maybe there is a few gems here and there. Like on Arran!)
ive also been to the isle of arran twice, but didnt get round to trying the fish+chips! but did try the local brewery tour!!
Great review Mr Smith, I will give you a 7/10 rating. I await your next food critique with baited breath.
He's got you hooked....
Vinegar? Even as a Kiwi....I'd pass and go chicken salt on the chips lol
There’s better shops than the one you’re in where you’ll get much bigger portions by far.
Fush and chups review
What does he mean by “A proper fish and chip shop in England”? Lol.
You got to try grouper or bluenose if you like meaty fish and get it crumbed
Terakihi? In Otago? I'd have bone with Blue Cod.
Fush n chups😂
Only a pom comes here and compares
Vinegar is not liked here.
I get the feeling you're extracting the urine out of your national stereotype.
Full marks to you.
Kapai cuz
Hello european pommy!
Excuse the fingers🙈
Fish and chips u eat what else?
Most important u getting nice fish cryspy and chips. ....
Jammy
You'd usually get a bit more chips in a scoop than that, that is a bit poor...or did you ask for less than a full scoop...? You need a few different tastings, a range of seaside locations throughout the country...some of the most famous, best-rated fish and chip shops are up in Northland.
Not the best F/C shop to get a review but……good enough lol
I've only ever found one decent fish and chip shop in the UK in the 10 years I lived and worked there. Most Kiwi fish and chip shops are pretty good. Can't believe you were scared by a few seagulls.
First talking about albatross 🙈
They are getting cold, so hurry up about it and eat.
funny enough ive been to Aotearoa aka new zealand twice!! 2 x 2 month stints, and never gave fash + chaps (kiwi pronunciation) a thought. Now i regret it!! bloody cheap as chips pardon the pun!
I don't think vinegar has ever been a big thing with NZ fish & chips. Maybe get a wee bottle of it to take with you in case you encounter f&c that doesn't supply it? I shall be trying vinegar as a condiment next time I have f&c... tonight
Vinegar used to be standard in fish and chip shops in NZ and then for some reason it disappeared. It is good though.
@@enzed6498 Indeed, the big bottle with several holes in the top, and a sprinkle with salt before wrapping.
@2:00 loilets 😆
What is it with Brits and vinegar? The stuff is disgusting! Kiwi's don't have a palate for vinegar, we 100% go for Watties Tomato sauce.
NZ fish is better as Pacific Ocean fish are different and better tasting than Atlantic Ocean fish.
Disregard the comments advocating Hienz Watties tomato flavoured sugar sauce . It is only needed when the food you are eating is shite
Those chips look awful. Im my 1000 times of eating fish n chips at the beach I've never seen Seagulls do anything.
That is a pitiful amount of chips,ripped off mate.
Vinegar goes with the chips tomato sauce goes with the fish
In general I agree with your tasting and testing methods and procedures. In Australia we don't put vinegar on chips, we put chicken salt. I will not tolerate any further video's insisting on vinegar from here out. No one cares about NZ. chicken salt!
Way below average amount of chips, looked like a half scoop, overall looked below average for NZ honestly.
They are the worst fish and chips I have ever tasted .they are not even close to uk fish and chips there chips are like oven chips there shit
