Landed At Hahei This Morning

Snapper off the ledges and tarakihi over the sand, iced on the boat and filleted before the shop opens. The board changes with the tide, so ask what came in before you order.

Cold Beer Batter, Frizzled Edges

Our batter is mixed cold and rested, so it crisps the moment it hits the oil and stays crisp the whole drive home. Light on the fish, never doughy, with the frizzled edges a chippie should have.

A Shop On The Coromandel Coast

We are a small counter between Hahei and Tairua, open six days, closed when the swell is too big to work the ledges. Everything is fried to order and wrapped in the same newsprint paper we have used since we opened.

Where the boat goes

Coromandel Coast

Three grounds we work between Hahei and Tairua. The pins mark the ledges we fish most weeks.

Hahei Whitianga Tairua Hahei Reef Whitianga Shelf Tairua Pins

Ask the fryer

Batter Guide

Six fish we run through the same beer batter. Times are for a 180 degree fryer and a fillet the size of your palm.

Times start from a dry fillet, never straight out of the chiller.
