Wadestown Seafoods — Attraction in North Island

IG: 2Fish1Chip

Order: Fish & Chips, Corn Fritter, Hotdog. Cost: $19.20

Fish (Warehou) had a good golden sheen and a nice crunchy bite to it. Didn’t hold too much oil which is always good. Possibly allowing it to hang sufficiently before packing it up. The flesh was white and fresh to the bite. Of note was a distinct moisture to the fillet which only made the texture super flaky. The level of flakiness was more than I would expect from Warehou. It felt like it was a whole lot of smaller piece blended together to make a fillet.

The Homemade (hand cut) chips were beautiful! Generous in portion with classic contrasting textures of the crunchy exterior and pillowy inside. CCT approved!

The corn fritter from here follows the beautiful herb infused mashed potato template which is gold! The let down here was that the outside was cooked a tad longer which meant the overly crunchy skin over powered the contents. That level of being cooked would suit a thicker fritter. The thickness allows time for you to enjoy the crunch then the lovely corn and mash that lies beneath.

I didn’t notice it till later, but they offer a larger sized fillet which peaked my interest. At twice the price of a normal fillet, it would be worth a crack I guess.

Overall pretty decent goods from the peeps at Wadestown Seafoods!...

In my experience, fish from the fish and chip shop is often dry, bland, old, and sometimes not fish. Not at Wadestown Seafoods. I live opposite Wadestown Seafoods and often see and smell the owner carrying in fresh fish every day. The fresh fish coated in golden batter and cooked in vegetable oil provides a succulent, delicious dinner for even those who don’t like fish. The burgers however are on another level. Thick beef patties with some of the best coleslaw I have ever had and toasted premium buns combine to make a burger worthy of Gordon Ramsey. The staff may be young, and some inexperienced, but the effort they put into preparing your meal is second to none and in my many trips have never had any wrong orders. The owner is also one of the nicest people I have met. He is very happy to open up early and cook up a burger if he is at the shop. This fish and chip shop is fantastic, and as well as being one of the premier shops in the Wellington region provides a great community atmosphere as you are guaranteed to see someone you know whether it be another customer or a diligent employee.

Okay I have been searching through thick and thin to find a ceeky worth location. Cheeky are something so special to me and they mean a lot deep down in my heart. I’ve searched through the depths of the Amazon rain forest, through the pyrimids of Giza and through the mighty elephant orphanage in Sri Lanka. This is why I was so pleased when I came across the Wadestown Seafoods. When this happened I thought to myself “finally I can satisfy my checky needs”. This is why I am searching out for people like you, to...
