Typical for a Kiwi to make a claim for the best fish and chips in the world, but that's exactly what the team from Hooked have done. I make this statement as an Aussie, because it's clear that Aussies make the best fish and chips in the world. It was with fond memories of wonderfully cooked fish and golden brown, crunchy chips that I set out to find Hong Kong's best fish and chips, which is how I stumbled across Hooked.
Located on Caine Road, right in the middle of Expat territory, Hooked is one of those little food spots that you could easily walk by if you weren't looking for it. It's a tiny little space that has room for standing only and is run by a Kiwi with grand designs. To bring the best of New Zealand's pristine waters directly to Hong Kong, with all fish caught using sustainable practices.
Now, I'll be the first to admit, New Zealand has some of the most amazing produce in the world, the land of the 'long white cloud' is far away from much of the worlds pollution and the Kiwi's do have a reputation for great fish and chips. But so do the Aussies, who typically also think we're the best at everything (LOL).
Only one way to find out and that was get into Hooked and give it a go.
