Fresko Fish & Chips / Fish Market

Lovely folks and the BEST gluten free burger!! Thank you!!

I've had fish and chips the world over, from across stretches of North America to the cobbled streets of Londontown. I can state categorically that THIS fish and chippie is one of the best. If one were to buy the fish and chips like I have, you'll experience a delectable and filling fish fillet that's warm, light and flaky. The fish practically melts in your mouth. The batter is a golden brown, crispy shell that adds needed texture to the mouthfeel. The chips are cooked perfectly; golden brown, crispy on the outside, with a white potato filling on the inside of each chip. My partner requires gluten-free dishes and she was well accommodated with an equally appetising grilled fish. If you're not interested in fish and chips, they have a wide selection that includes burgers, nuggets, and even what looked like homemade coleslaw. The staff work really hard to get the orders out and make customers happy. You can really see what's going on in the kitchen from over the counter. One gets the feeling that everyone is in-sync with each other and enjoys working there. The atmosphere also adds to the experience. The chippie is located off the coast of Lyall Bay and I observed many coming off the beach to casually enjoy a meal after hitting the waves or soaking some sun. The exterior is a black, shipping freight container which further pushes the industrial nautical vibe. It really felt like a nice place to hang out by the coast for a nice lunch, or to pick up take-home dinners on a Friday night. Overall, this is a must-stop for anyone in the area looking for a quality fish and chip. When my partner and I brought the food home, a silence hushed over the family as they ate - always a good sign!
