Kiwis (people from New Zealand) don't eat much fried chicken, but they love fish and chips. Tonight we went to St. Helier's Bay to get fish and chips from The Fishmonger. Kiwis don't say French Fries, they use the word chips instead, so we really had fish and french fries for dinner. Above is a picture of me and the fresh seafood. You can see fish, shrimp (called prawns here), scallops, oysters and squid.
Instead of serving the fish and chips in boxes and a bag, you get them wrapped in old newspapers.
But inside, there is fresh paper, so you don't ink on your fish. Today we got kumara (KOO-mah-rah) chips instead of regular ones. Kumara is a kind of sweet potato.
We also got an L&P to drink. L&P stands for Lemon and Paeroa. Lemon is the flavour and Paeroa is the place where the drink was originally made. It tastes a bit like a Sprite.
The seagulls like to hand around and see if they can get any of your dinner. We ate all of ours.
