Overview

So, there’s this little gem right in Upper Hutt called Brown Owl Fisheries. Seriously, if you’re craving fish and chips that don’t wipe your wallet clean, this spot is something you might wanna check out. Located at 8 Akatarawa Road, it’s kinda tucked away yet always buzzing.

I mean, I recently paid a visit and got myself their batter-fried fish—wowza! Honestly, it reminded me of the good ol' days when fish was really fish, not that sad, flat stuff you sometimes get. They use canola oil, which is a plus for those health-conscious folks, and everything comes out fresh.

The prices? Super friendly—less than $9 for a fish and chips combo? Heck yeah! Plus, they’ve got sweet potato fries, which are just the cherry on top. Now, it seems this place has a mixed bag of reviews. Lots of folks rave about their meals, but, a few have had… well, let’s say, “off” experiences.

I can totally see why they’ve got a 4.2 out of 5 score from about 303 reviews. Most of it is super positive, like customers saying they can picnic across the road at the park with the takeout. Who wouldn’t want that?

Just a heads up though, it does tend to get busy, so maybe call ahead if you’re in a rush. They’ve got takeout options, plus outdoor seating if you wanna enjoy your meal al fresco. And free parking? Count me in!

Overall, Brown Owl Fisheries feels like that go-to place for tasty comfort food on a rainy day. Sounds like a pretty comfy spot for families or just grabbing a quick bite. Would you give it a whirl?
