Order your feast from Mr D and use the promo code HAMMY30 to get stuck into one of Johannesburg’s crispiest fish and chips spreads 🐟🔥🍟
In this episode of Hammy Eats, Nick Hamman heads to Fourways, Johannesburg, on a mission to answer a big question: Where can you find the best fish and chips in South Africa? 🇿🇦🐟
From hand-cut chips to golden battered hake, this spot is serving up old-school fish and chips with a serious reputation. But can Joburg, hundreds of kilometres from the ocean, really compete with coastal cities like Cape Town when it comes to fresh seafood?
🍟 In this episode, Nick dives into a full fish and chips feast:
🔥 Classic deep-fried hake, flaky, juicy, and perfectly battered using high-quality fish frozen at sea for maximum freshness
🥔 Hand-cut chips made fresh daily from real potatoes, served with salt, vinegar and lemon for that authentic SA takeaway flavour
🧅 Crispy onion rings, golden, crunchy and packed with flavour
🦑 Fried calamari, tender, lightly battered and perfect with tartar sauce
🌭 Russian sausage, a South African takeaway classic, deep-fried and served with sauces
Nick also chats to the owner about:
• Taking over a beloved Johannesburg fish and chips shop after Covid
• How “frozen at sea” fish actually works (and why it’s used worldwide)
• The secret to making great fish and chips inland
• Family traditions like pickled fish and South African food culture
This is proper old-school takeaway: paper-wrapped parcels, salt & vinegar, and no shortcuts. Just quality ingredients and big flavour.
