Hand-cut chips, batter-to-order fish, housemade dimmies, and hulking fillet o’ fish-style sangers dripping in tartare sauce. The markings of a proper quality fish and chipper are evident at Edita’s, a new addition to Rathdowne Street that’s quickly become a go-to takeaway joint among locals.

It’s run by siblings Tima and Stan Tausinga, who named the venue after their late grandmother, a mural of whom is found on the interior shop wall. Hot chips are thrice-fried and golden, while burgers and tacos offer bang for your buck – there are battered prawn tacos, smashed beef burgers (only $14) and Edita’s signature battered fish burger slathered with house-made tartare and sandwiched between a Martin’s potato roll.

Other snacks include hand-cut potato cakes and mammoth Polynesian-style chop suey spring rolls.
