'Fush n Chups'

The consumption of take-away fish and chips – or “fush n chups” if you say it with a New Zealand accent – is a quintessentially Kiwi culinary activity.

The humble fish and chip shop is the original New Zealand fast food outlet – some Kiwis from smaller towns recall that before the advent of McDonald's their choice of take-away food consisted of “fish and chips, or fish and chips from the other place”.

The menu at fish and chip shops typically consists of battered or crumbed fish portions deep fried in oil (or fat) together with chunky cut potato chips, as well as a range of other meats, seafood, pineapple rings and even chocolate bars, all wrapped in paper for you to carry away. A meal for two can often be had for under $10.
