Excellent place to visit if you're after good quality fish and chips. There is nothing too flash about this shop, so I wasn't expecting anything great, but I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the blue cod with chips. The fish was perfectly cooked, with a nice crisp batter on the outside and melt in your mouth fish on the inside. Chips were very slightly undercooked, but they were still delicious. This place does get quite busy, but they serve customers really quickly. I would definitely come back here again. Very reasonably priced too.
Porky's Takeaways in Hokitika would seriously have to have some of the best fish and chips in NZ, maybe on the entire planet. The selection of fish is superb but the chips are out of this world, Chunky, crispy spud chips just like mother used to make, cooked in real-deal fat so there's no foul oil taste to worry about. So even if you are health conscious it's worth it every once in a while to let loose and Porky's is definitely the place to do it, I mean, aren't fish and chips just the perfect delivery vehicle for a good dose of salt ?? Service is friendly and efficient and you would have to be a negative whining whinging nitpicker to find fault here. The shop is clean and neat, super-well presented and they have the most amazing signs and menu boards, all done in the old fashioned style, clearly done by a sign writer who must be extremely talented, truly amazing and worth taking your camera. Enjoy.
Best meal and friendliest service we had on our two-week holiday road trip!
