"Finally found a fish & chip shop in Upper Hutt that does decent battered fish!! That's not all they do, but it is a highlight for me. They cook only in canola (vegetable) oil. The food is also very reasonably priced, I paid less than $9 for a fish, half scoop (but still generous) and a pineapple fritter. Highly recommend."
