Fan-freaking-tastic!!!! I am never disappointed and believe this has to be the best restaurant in all of Taranaki - beautiful, fresh fish!!!

Marinovichs is the leading seafood restaurant in New Plymouth, maybe even the whole of Taranaki! I am never disappointed when I go in. The seafood, or the fish especially, reminds me of spending hot afternoons learning to fish with my dad off the breakwater, it has a really nostalgic flavour that never gets old. They give you a big decision when choosing which fish you’d like as the options go on forever! Snapper, gurnard, lemon fish, and those are just the favourites! They serve real seafood with none of the fake ingredients!

Marinovich’s is essentially a fish and seafood restaurant and café. The inside of the restaurant kind of reminds me of a ship, perhaps it’s because of all the wooden furniture and the overall style of the place; but this isn’t necessarily a bad thing when all you want is some decent fish and chips. They can cook it exactly how you like it with no fuss, I love that when I go out to eat, as I admit, I have quite high standards! My favourite meal would have to be the fish burger (with chips of course!).

Marinovichs is like a gourmet fish and chip shop. You can dine in for a nice romantic seafood night, or even take the meal away and go eat it on the beach; the weather is getting nicer after all. Either way, it will definitely add a romantic touch to your date night. I love their Fish Burgers, which is something I wouldn’t usually go for, but they are so good! They also do oysters which are a well-known aphrodisiac.
