Freshly cooked takeaways
to meet customer demand
For almost a quarter of a century,
Gourmet Seafoods QE2 in Travis Road,
North New Brighton has been providing
delicious, freshly cooked takeaways for
local residents.
Over that time, the range of items has
grown and developed to satisfy changing
customer tastes, says owner Peter, who runs
the business with his wife Helen, and today
they serve much more than the basics they
started with.
In addition to the standard fish and chips,
Gourmet Seafoods offers a selection of
specialty fish, including gurnard, tarakihi,
sole and blue cod, which can be crumbed
or battered. The seafood selection includes
fresh and cooked Bluff oysters in season,
Pacific oysters, scallops and mussels.
Entrée items include mini spring rolls
and corn nuggets, while hamburgers
are another popular choice, with a good
selection on offer.
“People like variety, so we try to give
them that,” says Peter.
He also introduced souvlakis to the
menu, filled with beef, chicken or lamb and
tzatziki sauce. Crispy chicken fillets have
been added to the souvlaki choices, and
Peter says these have proved very popular
with customers.
In fact, their crispy, crunchy batter for
fish and chicken has become a signature
item at Gourmet Seafoods, and is favoured
by many happy customers.
Their chips are hand-made and freshly
cooked every day. Always seeking to
improve their products, Peter and Helen
have changed from frozen to fresh chips, as
they have found that’s what their customers
prefer. They have also introduced glutenfree
items in response to customer demand.
To accompany the delicious hot food,
a wide selection of soft drinks is available
from the chiller.
Dedicated to the business, Peter is
carrying on a family tradition at Gourmet
Seafoods – he is the third generation of
his family to own a fish and chip shop.
His grandfather had a shop in Petone, and
his parents ran one in Wellington, while
his son Ben is a chef and also works parttime
at Gourmet Seafoods, along with staff
member John.
Gourmet Seafoods is located in the
Travis Road shopping centre at 251 Travis
Rd. They are open seven days a week, so
try them next time you fancy some tasty
takeaways and personal service.
