The Best Fresh Seafood in New Zealand

"Follow the colourful glossy paintings down the sidewalk on Broadway and you’ll reach Percy’s Fish Shop - a local favourite. They sell fresh seafood for you to take away as well as kai you can buy there. They do massive portions of crispy fries so you can have some of those while you mull over which fish to buy for dinner. They do awesome punnets of mussells and kina at a really reasonable price."

"Fishmonger Nick Williams is about the most interesting person you’ll ever meet. He’s got rubber bands in his beard, wears swanndris religiously and is always mumbling a new expression. He sells the fish his crew catch in the harbour that day. He’s normally got mullet and flounder on the menu. I bought some of his flounder a while ago and he gave me the best directions on how to cook it (dust it in flour and herbs then fry it in butter for three minutes either side). Now I’m addicted and can’t wait to go back!"
