Oh yes this place takes me back to my high school days when fish and chips were the thing to have after school. A few friends and I would make the trip to Henderson mall then after window shopping walk across the road to LJS for something tasty. It would always be the lemon peppered chips, coke and once in a while a fish burger. It was a ritual then we would sit inside and make so much noise I’m sure they wanted to kick us out or close the shop every time they saw us approaching. Now I go to LJS once in a while when I miss some decent chippies.

I often used to eat fish and chips when I was young in Ireland — it was always on Friday as this is a Catholic tradition. I must say the fish and chips in New Zealand are far nicer than what I got back in the day. I find the fish in chips in Ireland/England tend to be greasy and unpleasant and I gave up eating them when I got older. The fish always tended to be cod which is not half as nice as snapper. Anyway, Long John Silver do a pretty good fish and chips in keeping with the Kiwi tradition. I tend to splash out a bit on the snapper as I find the hoki pretty bland — you can get a fish and chip combo with a drink for about $ 15. Another thing that LJS do that I only found out recently is breakfast — bacon and eggs that is as you would hardly eat fish for breakfast. They do a basic breakfast for $ 7.50 and the more elaborate ones are a bit dearer. Good to know if you are on a budget and don’t fancy brunch in some poncey café.
