MAC'S FRESH FISH & CHIPS of Masterton has come out on top for the fourth time in the National Chip Shop Competition, after being named a regional finalist.

Maggie and Michael Dai, who have owned the shop since 2005, also won the award in 2007, 2008 and 2009, and feel "very lucky" to be named the best fish and chip shop in Masterton.

"We are really lucky. Masterton is a small town, so we are lucky to be named a finalist," Mrs Dai said.

The key to a good chip, Mr Dai said, was to time each order and keep the oil temperature between 175°C and 180°C. "We always time it and, most of the time it's three minutes for chips, but if the customer wants it more crispy we put it on for an extra 30 seconds."

It has been a good year for the Dais, as they have also given the shop a makeover and doubled its size.

"In February we got a brand-new bench and new floors, which are really nice, and we opened up the kitchen so the customers can see how we cook the fish and chips," Mrs Dai said.

Mr Dai enjoys the new kitchen and loves impressing customers with his cooking.

"If the customer is happy, it makes me very happy."
