Southmall Fisheries

This week we visited Southmall Fisheries on Great South Rd, near Southmall. Our total came to $16.20 for three adults and Grace, which filled us up nicely. They don't sell Tarakihi so instead we got 2 pieces of Snapper at $3.50 each, plus 2 curry rolls ($1.90 each), 1 hot dog ($1.40) and $4 chips.

The Snapper was really nice: its texture was moist and it tasted fresh - unsurprising given they also sell fresh fish. The batter was crispy and tasty, although the underside was slightly soggy. The chips had a good flavour and were also crispy (not soggy) and lightly salted. We enjoyed the curry rolls but noted they were a bit spicier than usual which could be a negative or positive! They were decently sized and the batter was crunchy. Finally the hot dog was tasty and also had a crunchy batter.

We enjoyed every aspect of this meal, and found the portion sizes to be generous. While a little pricier than Alfriston Takeaway it rivalled it for quality and was still cheaper than Bunters and Totara Park Takeaways. Unless you particularly want Tarakihi this place is worth a visit.

Quality: 4/5
Value: 3.5/5

Overall: 7.5/10

Summary
Very nice fish and chips!
