The Fish Shop

If you like your fish and chips with a side order of Merivale panache, this is the place for you. Sporting a crab shack-chic theme, complete with weathered wood counters, glass buoys, fishing nets and conch shells galore (not to mention toilets labelled 'buoys' and 'gulls'), the menu combines seaside chippy classics, such as chunky potato scallops and fried dim sims, with more sophisticated daily specials. Highlights include school prawns, dipped into rich creamy mayo and eaten whole, and a crumbed fish burger with bacon and chilli that will guarantee a return visit.
