I recommend Laurieton Fishermen's Co-op because it sells the best fish and chips I have EVER had, with very friendly staff, and at a very reasonable price. To the whingers, I would ask what YOUR cooking is like, and what is the REAL quality of your local fish and chips. My wife and I simply can't fault the very friendly and efficient staff. The premises are spotless and the work done to lift it from its former owners' shabbiness is truly a credit to the present owners. To sit outside in absolute peace and look out on the tranquil river whilst eating a wonderfully tasty meal is just wonderful and a real privilege! Furthermore, the (I think) owner is an absolute gentleman. He even walks out to where people are eating and enquires as to whether or not they are enjoying their meal. What other business would have someone do that? My wife and I recently left Laurieton, but we miss greatly this establishment, one of the good things about Laurieton. In fact, we would go so far as to say it's one of the north coast's hidden treasures!!!
