Clevedon Seafoods, Clevedon

Visited here when passing through at tea time. As a highly experienced chip eater, it's usually risky eating at new places as the likelihood of getting boring and overcooked chips is high. However here I was pleasantly surprised. We ordered a medium chips and 2 pieces of fish of the day. Fish seemed a bit expensive at $4.70 each but it was either that or a dried out pie from a gas station! Dinner was served on a cardboard tray in a bag, so was easy to eat in the car. If you eat in location there is free sauce in the table, unusual for Auckland. Chips were a good mix of squishy and crunchy ones, and the fish was a thick fresh piece. It seemed like it had not been frozen prior and was a bigger portion than most places I usually go. I removed a ratings star for the batter - although it was thin and crispy, it was very greasy. They've done such a good job otherwise. (I note that they also seem to sell some bakery products which I did not sample. I don't appreciate seeing bread loaves out and uncovered in the main shop area, so would not be partaking in those anyway.) Overall I was pleased with the size of the portions and the quality of the fish, and would be happy to return.

the owner (if it’s the man) is very polite, food is presented fast and the quality is always good. i personally think there is a bit going on with the seafood takeaways and the bakery - but whatever works. ice cream machine runs whenever the shop is open. food is of decent quality and the pricing i think aligns.

First time coming here. Arrived around 1pm and ordered their special B. We sat outside, they have a nice outside area. Food was lovely and quite a good size. Value for money. We got 2 fish, 2 potatoes fritters, 2 sausages and chips. Staff were friendly. Will definitely be back.
