A more idyllic spot is hard to find.
Situated on the wharf is the Mapua Smokehouse Fish and Chip shop.
The fish is at its absolute freshest, perfectly cooked, the batter crisp and the Agria potatoes that the chips are made from are twice blanched, floury on the inside and crisp outside. Not a trace of old fat or oil in the air, no stale fish smell just the sea air and contented customers scattered around the pier quietly devouring maybe the best Fish and chips in the country.
Myself, I had a fish cake. I wasn’t able to define the fish but can tell you I’ve paid a lot more for a lot less quality.
This Fish cake, slightly smoked had celery, a little pumpkin, potato and chilli combined with a very fresh tasty flaked fish. Well seasoned and again perfectly cooked. Sometimes the most simple food is the most satisfying.
Save some room when heading from Nelson to Golden Bay and treat yourself to an “Old School” lunch.
Heading to Bouterey’s Restaurant next where Matt Boutereys reputation promises to impress.
