Best hot chips finalists named

Auckland dominates hot chip finals

By JESSICA TASMAN-JONES - Auckland Now! | 11:31AM - Tuesday, 06 September 2011

HOT PROPERTY: Six Auckland stores have dominated the country's “best chip” competition.
HOT PROPERTY: Six Auckland stores have dominated
the country's “best chip” competition.


TRENDY inner-city eateries may like to charge a premium for a plate of fries, but it's surburban takeaways where connoisseurs should get their fix.

Finalists in the Best Chip Shop Competition have been announced today.

Six are from the Auckland region, but forget Ponsonby, Parnell and Mount Eden — there's not a fancy, central city chippie in sight.

Big J's Takeaway in Mount Wellington, Oceanz in Botany Downs, Fish Stop in Glen Eden, Oceanz Seafood in Albany, Oceanz Seafood in Silverday, and Ivan's Takeaway in Glenfield are the six finalists.

And it's a similar story in the Wellington region, where the top tasters can be found at Lower Hutt’s So Fine Seafood, Fish Spot the Plaza in Palmerston North and Mac’s Fresh Fish & Chips in Masterton. And Nelson picks up two spots among the South Island finalists with Victory Square Fish & Chips and Seabreeze City Takeaways.

They will compete against 12 others across the country to take out New Zealand's only best chip competition.

Judging is not open to any old chip shop. Potential competitors must be part of the Chip Group which is dedicated to creating an industry standard for cooking the greasy treat.

Chip Group chairman Glenda Gourley says its guidelines are dedicated to creating the "tastiest and best quality" chips, but also ones that are healthier.

"These guidelines cover chip size, oil temperature, cooking/deep-frying, basket drainage, oil maintenance, filtering and cleaning, salt, frying oils and chip portion size."

The competition is determined by a combination of public voting, mystery judging and laboratory analysis.

The supreme winner will be announced in October.
