The History of Fish and Chips

The chips used by LJS are the best of both worlds, in that they are bigger that the traditional “shoestring” French Fries used by many other fast food chains, but smaller than the “steak fries” chips used by traditional takeaway.  This means that they are a good balance of the healthier and resilient larger chip but retains the taste of a smaller fry.

All LJS fish and chips are cooked in a 100% cholesterol FREE liquid Canola oil, which is not only the healthiest of all the cooking oils but, being a liquid, begins to leave the product as soon as it is removed from the fryer.  You therefore absorb less cooking oil when eating the product.

Instead of wrapping together a large mass of lower quality fish and chips in newsprint, LJS presents a higher quality restaurant meal on your plate for dine-in or in specially constructed meal boxes for takeaway. This has several benefits including protecting the fish and chips by separating them so they are not all crushed together, allowing oil to leave the product and be absorbed into the packaging, and allowing the steam and heat to escape preventing the chips and batter from going soggy. 

LJS therefore has a significant advantage over the traditional takeaways by providing a reasonable size quick service fish and chips meal of the best possible quality New Zealand fish and chips, presented to you for immediate enjoyment.

LJS stores are located mostly in the Foodcourts of major shopping malls throughout New Zealand so you can enjoy a quality fish and chips meal at any time throughout the day. LJS also is opening more stand-alone type stores to enable the traditional lover of quality fish and chips to be able to enjoy LJS fish and chips for the evening meal as an alternative to the mass volume and lower quality takeaway stores.
