A great place to try the local speciality of whitebait is this classic Kiwi diner. Look for the quirky statue of the whitebait fisherman on the roof before getting stuck into tasty fritters or an omelette stuffed into a fresh slice of fluffy white bread. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and salt and pepper, and you're good to go.
