When passing thru Rotorua, River’s Catch is my most favorite fish and chips shop to stop by and to have a guaranteed satisfying feast. The shop is run by a cool chef who is passionate about bringing quality good food to you.
The Double Double combo (30NZD) comes with two fish, two adobo fish tacos, four potato fritters, and chips. The fish tasted really fresh with perfectly soft and flaky texture. I like the thick crunchy batter that did not feel too oily. The basic-looking potato fritters are the best I had so far, they really know how to mix their batter and fry them with the right temperature and timing!
My all-time favorite from River’s Catch is the Adobo Fish Tacos (14NZD). Fresh, tender and flavorful grilled fish with the right amount of adobo aioli sauces and crunchy Asian slaw.
