Ortega Fish Shack, Wellington, New Zealand

This was a great meal in a fun place, and if it wasn't such an amazing food trip this would have been rated higher in my overall ranking of meals on a less delicious vacation.I qould definitely recommend eating here, even if seafood is not your thing. Like many restaurants we encountered in New Zealand, there is more land based food than ocean acquired fare, and it is not hard to find something for everyone here. The atmosphere is casual friendly, and the decor looks like either someone emptied out their aunt's attic or went to a series of garage sales. It is full of things that you could see people buyiing but deciding that putting it on the wall was not an exceptionally good idea--but in the restaurant they work. It is interesting, much like the food. I could go back and have nothing that we ate when we were there and I suspect I would be quite happy. There wasn't a clunker and we ordered several small things rather than a couple of larger plates.
