Comments on: Aggy’s Fish & Chips Shack & Paradise, Queenstown, New Zealand http://www.notquitenigella.com/2009/03/21/aggys-fish-chips-shack-paradise-queenstown/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

I found it interesting and edible on wintry night, though I might not rush it in summer. Aggy himself is a delight, and we had an interesting chat with him about local fish produce.

Yeah who knew it was so good for you? Although I wonder if we would taste like what we eat? :P Hi tammy-I don't mind it but it is very oily so I think I'd eat it but in small doses. Hubby loved it though! Hi Red Neon Hearts-Hehe well it looks sort of like a small duck at first sight? But tastes nothing like it I guess :) It's a breathtaking country! :D Hi Ffichiban-It is indeed!

We stood there for a while trying to decided :lol: Thankyou! :) Hi Angela-It's definitely different and if I needed sustenance I'd definitely eat it although for those dieting not such a great idea!

I'd never heard of it, but I'm always up for trying new poultry. The scallop fritter is what really catches my eye, though. The batter looks as light as a cloud! I am intrigued by the mutton bird.
