What they do…

There is an English proverb that says, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” That was the reason why when I was in Wellington, I would not eat anything that we can get to eat at home…but we did stop by this shop…

…for the fish and chips that Melissa liked a lot and had quite often in the two years she was studying in this city…

They sell fresh seafood here…

…including lobsters or what they call crayfish…

…and oysters…

Melissa and her mum had the fish and chips…

Gosh!!! Look at the serving or the amount of chunky chips that they gave!

I had the fish burger…

…and it was definitely nothing like what we have at those fast food joints back home. Even my favourite at our local franchise, the Sugar Bun, pales miserably in comparison…and the fish and chips at the fish market place in the peninsula do not come anywhere close either.

The fish was soooooo nice, no fishy smell at all…

Melissa said it was the fish of the day – warehou and whatever it was, I really really loved it!

They have tables and chairs by the side of the pavement so customers can choose to sit there à la alfresco to have their meal. Here, you can see the mother and daughter enjoying themselves…

That certainly was a delightful lunch that we three had that day. Yum! Yum!
