AMERICAN tries NEW ZEALAND FISH & CHIPS!!!

A British Youtuber and his wife came to New Zealand and the wife ordered fish and chips for lunch. She leaned over to her British husband and said " I think New Zealand makes fish and chips better than England where they were invented." Her husband looked down sad and said "Yeah I Know".

If you are not consuming within minutes then rip a ventilation hole in the top to release the steam. Stops them from going soft and soggy.

Eating fish and chips with your hands is the only way to enjoy that goodness

Don’t think I’ve ever had a feed of fish and chips without ending with a pineapple ring! The best!

Pineapple fritter with cinnamon sugar and ice cream is the best

Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for showing off my beautiful country. It’s also obvious you’re making an effort on the pronunciation around Paua. Keep doing your thing brother 💪🏾

Mate no worries fish n chips are a eat with hands meal. By the way you are in Wellington during Winter, yup it rains. Get ready for July/ August wet and cold, just remember you can't beat Wellington on a good day. Keep up the videos Brock we will make a Kiwi out of you eventually.

Dunno why, but your videos make me smile. So sick of fake people making fake videos. Yours are so good, could you be the only normal person on YouTube? You'd make a great kiwi, you seem pretty laid back. Thanks for your content.

You pronounced paua correctly. I'm surprised you took the risk to try the paua fritter especially at that price but glad you liked it.

I swear I fall even more in love with you after every clip I watch 😂😂. Your bluntness and logical ways are just so fricken... 🙌🤭 Yep!

I'd definitely be keen to hear your thoughts on New Zealand ice cream. I know it's winter but Kiwis do ice cream year round are the world's largest consumers of ice cream (8 gallons per person). In Wellington, Duck Island on Cuba Street is hand's down the most popular spot for ice cream, followed by Kaffee Eis which does gelato. For maximum flavour options, I'd recommend getting a Flight (8 flavours) from Duck Island or a half litre (4 flavours) from Kaffee Eis. 🙏

I agree with your score, tartare sauce can wreck a good fish & chips. A squeeze of Lemon & some tomato sauce on the side is enough 😋

Cannot stop making comments only this night is my first watching you.But you are a breath of fresh air to my soul. Thanks so much for your channel I like

A little Info to set you Straight. "Paua" is the same as what a lot of other Countries Call Abalone. However, the Kiwi "Paua" is pure & in it's Natural State. Most Abalone is Dyed White as the People who decide such things deem the Black meat to be unappetising. One thing you will find in NZ is that most Seafood (Kai Moana) is caught fresh around the Coast & it's best when not played around with. You can expect to pay a Premium Price for Premium Types as you are competing with the Price the Producer can get for Export Product. There are some lesser Products that either don't appeal to the Export Market or there is not the same Demand. But Any Fresh Fish is good & a common Fish in Fish & Chip Shops like Hoki or Lemon Fish is still tasty, without the Delicateness of Flavour in Snapper, Orange Roughy, Terakihi & Blue Cod. Gurnard & John Dory are Middle Range Fish for Flavour but are a Ridiculous Price. When I was growing up We ate Snapper etc & the Cats got Gurnard. Nowadays, Gurnard costs as much as Terakihi, only slightly less than Snapper (at the Time of Writing $4 a Kilo less). Fish & Chips was a Traditional Friday Night Dinner for the Family & it was a Cheap meal for Mum, Dad & 2-4 Children. During the 70's & 80's, the Arrival of KFC which was really Good back then, McDonalds & International Type Eateries, Asian, Curries, Kebabs, Italian etc Takeaways, enticed people away from Fish & Chips, resulting in less Proper Fish & Chip Shops & the necessity in Slashing the Quality of the Rood, that dreaded Circle of Competitive Price Versus Quality & Quantity which loses even more Customers. If you are heading down to the South Island, the Further South you go from Dunedin, you will encounter NZ's best kept Secret when it comes to Fish & Chips, Blue Cod. You don't often find it in The North Island & when you do it's probably been Frozen, but as it Frozen straight from the Sea it's still far better than most other Product. It is very similar to Fresh Snapper & Flakes into Beautiful tasting White fish fillets, Succulent, with the creamy taste of the Sea. If you're down there in the Bluff Oyster Season, 1/2 doz Battered Bluff Oysters lightly cooked & 2 pieces of Battered Blue Cod is a Seafood Lovers Dream. Paua is an awkward marine gastropod molluscs. It's not a True Sea Snail but neither is it a True Mollusc as it only has 1 shell, unlike true Mollusc such as Mussels, Clams, Scallops & Oysters with which NZ abounds. Normal Sea Slugs & Snails usually protrude from their Shells, retreating back into their Shells when there is obvious Danger, much like their land based Cousins. It's just referred to as Paua or in any Fine Dining Establishments "NZ Abalone". If you make it to Auckland, The Fish Pot Café in Mission Bay was one of the Best Places for Fish & Chips, if it's still there. Apart from there, most Wet Fish Shops (Fishmongers) do Fish & Chips with the added bonus that you can Select your Fillet & they will cook it for you for a small fee, rather than paying for an unknown piece of Fish. Happy Travels & Bon Appetite!

LoL your dry sense of humour. Welcome to NZ brother 😁

In Kiwi takeaway shops, the food is cooked to order, when a customer buys it. The ingredients are sourced locally, so potatoes for chips are grown by local NZ farmers. Fish is bought wet, so is super fresh. Buns for burgers are usually bought that day, and salad ingredients are also bought fresh.

You just had an internal service done. An oil and greez . You're good to go until the next cravings 😋 usually on a Friday around teatime.

Initially I was surprised about the prices. But then I saw what you got for your money. The serving of snapper (fish) was really big. The Paua (abalone) patty was full of the meat, and large to generous. Both are expensive in NZ. So I think you got a great deal. I wish I was in Karori, Wellington to check a similar meal out!!!! Some fish and chip outfits put very little Paua into their patty's..... your Paua patty looked like a luxury patty. Also, they do have Paua (abalone) in the southern areas of Australia. I don't know if they feature them in fish and chip shops tho......

I am glad you got a real paua fritter, There are some dicey ones out there.

Well I'm a New Zealander and I have eaten quite a lot of Fish and Chips meals over the 80 years here in NZ, but I must concede, that when I worked in Grand Prairie in Texas USA back in the late 1990s - 2000, I use to go a Captain "D" Fish and Chip shop and get some Fish and Chips for my lunch meal once a week. They too put the Fish and Chips into a box and I use to walk back to work to eat it, they were great Fish and Chips and I enjoyed them very much indeed.
