    Thumbs down Worst fish & chip shop in NZ?

    A new shop in Bulls just opened so we thought we would give it a try
    What a mistake fish the size of my finger asked for two scoops be lucky if there was half a scoop there.
    Wifes Chicken roll??
    all I can think is that the chicken must have run through it
    the hotdogs were just a breakfast sausage on a stick
    when we rang to bring this rubbish back they just hung up on us
    If your coming this way better to stop in Sanson!!

    BE WARNED!!

    The shit place by Halswell shopping centre.

    About a year back I picked up the family tea, got home and the fish was not cooked and the chips over cooked. He struck me on a bad day and I took them back for a refund. He had the cheek to tell me the oil was a bit burnt thus the over cooking and 'I'll cook the fish'. Shop was full. I politely ask him if he really wanted me to display his shit product to the entire shop. I got a full refund.

    Fucktard. He knew that shit was off when he served it up a wrapped it for me.

    Any inland fish and chip shop in Canty - The further inland you go, the worse the fish is...
    which is ridiculous as they all buy pre battered fish from the same wholesalers. It would appear they just can't cook it...
    Darfield is a prime example.

    Akaroa Fish n Chip shop used to be very hit and miss. Over priced and often shit. A surprise considering you can by fish caught that day off the wharf.

    Never mind that chippie burnt down a number of months back .......

    Nelson is the most expensive region in NZ to get fish and chips. Biggest fishing port in NZ
    I mentioned vegetables once, but I think I got away with it...........

    Im not into Fish and Chips.
    I dont mind chips with chicken salt but often the fat is cooked in chips.
    I have evolved as a KB member.Now nothing I say should be taken seriously.

    Increasingly over the last 20 years or so fish from chipperies has been shit. It's rotten, you can see brown streaks through it that taste like crap.

    Someone in the know reckoned it was to do with the big commercial fishing outfits and how the international take affected the local market. Dunno, but it's a real shame, F&C used to be a treat but now it's too much of a lottery.
    Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon

    Interesting you mention this fish & chip shop. I took my family there to pick up some tea en route to Halswell Quarry last summer. They had the largest fish I've ever seen in a chip shop and me the trouble and strife both said we'd go back. I suppose it's hit and miss. I don't have a bad chippie to talk about just a bad cafe. The Paddle Crab Cafe at Farewell Spit, un-be-lievable! If you're going up that way do yourself a favour and eat in Takaka!!!
